Travellers Needed! High Guard Updates

[ProfGrizzlyJon]

Un nerf fighters. Their weapons shouldn’t be range restricted.

Dump dogfighting. Seriously. It has no place in space combat.

Totally disagree- In fact this section should be expanded to reduce the inconsistencies.

 

[ProfGrizzlyJon]

My favourite being that detached bridges have factor/zero acceleration, which allows a soft planetary landing.

Because Lifters?

 

[ProfGrizzlyJon]

Expand the retrotech rules to all ship components if a GM wants. A TL15 yard should be able to make a TL12 equivalent ship cheaper with parts and systems made less expensively at higher tech levels. Probably not the hull, but the components and systems.

AGREED!
The whole Retrotech/Prototype rules needs to be applied to spacecraft components in general, especially Computers and Cores.

 

[ProfGrizzlyJon]

here should be clear instructions on what is Third Imperium tech and what isn't.

Even if there is just a Summary of 3I Tech and application, that would be great. Call it "Ship Design Philosophy"

 

[ProfGrizzlyJon]

requires one full hull point to be counted as a spacecraft.

This is a genius idea, and I am stealing it immediately. @Geir this might not be a bad idea to also include in the Vehicle Handbook (if not too late)

Because Lifters?

Presumably, attached manoeuvre drive, rated at factor/zero.
