Travellers Needed! High Guard Updates

[tytalan]

I think one of the things that needs to be fixed is spinal mounts in the exotic weapons section. As you can see from these screenshots the Neutron Laser and Super Laser are identical except for damage. Now the Super Laser is probably included like hyperdrive for settings other than Charted Space. That said the Neutron Laser definitely fit Charted space except its stats are completely broken. The Tonnage should be 2,000 Dt not 20,000dt, the Power should be +600 not +6,000, the cost should be 2,500MCr not 25,000MCr this make much more sense for a weapon that’s a weaker version of the particle spinal mounts (the range probably should be increased to Extreme ) yes it has a unlimited size but it’s also 5 TL higher than the particle spinal mounts. With disintegrator spinal mounts being increased to TL 20 the Neutron Laser make sense intermittent spinal mounts.

So someone pointed out that the source of the Neutron Laser might be 40k, while I believe that might be a source (there are Neutron Lasers in other sci-fi games some predating 40k) I still think it needs to be fixed since it’s included in the erotic section of HG (there are many other purely Traveller techs in that section) or replaced with another spinal mount in the 16/17 TL range. I feel this is needed because among other things the disintegrator spinal mount was jumped up by 3 TL to TL 20 ( in both MegaTraveller and LBB it was much lower) now don’t have a problem with this but it does leave a whole especially if the Rebellion is done in the future.

High Guard has an erotic section? Spicy! *rushes off to read all about spinal mounts and how little ships are made*

At one hundred ten percent, I rather doubt you can do external maintenance, and chances are, the docking space was designed specifically for a specific hull configuration and tonnage.

And, some may feel hard done by.

There have been enough good reason given that I wouldn't use it on normal builds, but on jank build builds I might. And if you take it to double the tonnage, then by the rules as I understand them for vehicles in cargo it will function as a docking space. And it will still be cheaper than docking space, which is important in most jank builds.
