Yes, that's what I thought. Pre-war Imperial Core and Solomani
Confederation are the areas that spring to mind. Also the Zhodani Consulate
- in fact, due to the stability and lack of pirates, this would be the
perfect place.

All right, I surrender!
Basically, what I meant was this: Jump calculations are very complicated,
involve a lot of variables, and probably take a while to calculate. The
more variables you can make constants, and the more factors you can
calculate in advance, the safer the Jump.

Agreed. Although...maybe people like the RC could use it too. They don't
have many ships, or places to build them. If you take an old ship, rip out
the m-drive, then bolt that onto a new hull (or a bit of rock, or
*anything*), you get a ship *and* a shuttle/tug/whatever.

I have been unable to find a copy of Striker II and was wondering what
exactly were the rules fixes concerning fusion and plasma weapons...

I also have a rules base question concerning HEPLaR.  Is there any minimum
size restriction for HEPLaR rockets?

Hello,

I've been in lurk mode for a while but now I'm baaaaaccckkk :-)

Mark Clark, I love the adventure seeds, more more applod...
how about...

13  ( is it up higher now? )
  as no. 8 But the "asteroid" is really a forerunner ( pre even the
anchients,
  in case you're tired of them... ;-) ) ship there doesn't seem to be a crew
  but your employer's "friend" and the rest that crew are found in stasis
tubes
  1) How do they relese them
  2) Just who put them in there in the first place...
I don't think a clever GM would let a party get away with the ship but if the
party is EXTREMELY clever and pulls it off... there will STILL be a lot a
good
GM can do with this. Can you imagine the questions they will get from
customs,
system control, and the authorities ( who WILL eant to get their sticky
little
fingures on this thing... PAY them but they should be proud to contribute to
the
well being of the state!
I'm afraid that I would not be able to use these with my present group as one
of them reads this group. He comments even more often than I do... Hi Jim ;-)

I am also tired of the rock thread...
I aa also glad to see this group pick up it was a little guiet there for
a while I guess it was the holidays...

Our fine crew of misfits keeps hitting the news wherever we go...
At Lunion upstation we had picked up an ini watcher who had a psi shield
(naturally) unfortunatly for him Narius ( our 40K Grey Knight ) sensed
the blank spot and decided he did not like one little bit, Gunnar ( our
INI agent and knew of the watcher ) was sitting in the ward room with
our captain Marcus' twin sister and older brother, when Narius came out
armed to the teeth and above. Gunnar stopped him and told him that the
station aouthorities would not allow firearms off the ship with out
considerable paper work... Narius asked Astrid ( our purser & 1st
officer ) to take care of it, no dummy she, she told Narius that it
would take longer than a week. Narius turned to Gunnar and said I sensed
a psi sheild out there just what am I allowed a pillow!
Gunnar hurried him out ( as he has done every time Narius has brought up
the subject of psi, but Narius STILL hasn't caught on... ;-) ) and
allowed him his pillow...
Narius walks off of the ship armed with a pillow. He walked past an
dblindsided the poor fellow. He told him that he did not like watchers
and do not show up here again, and stomped back on board.
Marcus' sister noticed Gunnar's snicker.
Gunnar later reminded Marcus that he could not tell her just what was
going on she wasn't cleared for that information and Only if she shipped
out with us could she be told a close look at Gunnar would have revieled
a slight grimmace at the thought of two of them on board...
The station security did not try to arrest Narius as the assalted
indivual did end up in the hospital, I don;t think that he will admit
that he was decked by a Pillow!!
Later we jumped into a battle while one fo the crew was being talked
down from the belief thet we where all going to die ( he heard that
there was a 7% loose rate down here. The timeing couldn;t have been
worse for the crew member last seen in his hard suit under his bed...

Oh well I've babbled on to much
c ya
