Ok Someone mentioned it, and I remember the existance of an adventure

or was it not released?

Never underestimate the power of hypocrisy, or the ability of the human
mind to rationalise the indefensible.

I think it's unlikely he would have tried while Lucan and Margaret were
around.  It's more possible that he would make himself Regent while a
search was made for a suitable candidate for Emperor, in the same manner as
Arbellatra.  It's *very* likely that he would be offered the throne under
these circumstances.  Whether or not he would accept is another matter. 
Maybe he would regard it as his duty....

The route across the Great Rift is actually quite viable, once you assume,
or create, some *very* high capacity calibration points*.  You might have
trouble getting J-3 squadrons across, but J-4 shouldn't be too hard.  Of
course, ISTR that some of the big ship designs that were J-4 in CT were J-3
in MT.  Tanker squadrons might help.

I don't own FFW.  What are the jump capabilities in it like?

As for the Vargr....   Well, *someone* has to sack Capital, don't they?

Alan Bradley
alanb@elf.brisnet.org.au

*calibration points are fuel caches in interstellar space, usually owned by
the Navy, and not available to, and kept secret from, civilian users.  They
get used heavily in Regency Sourcebook, and, I gather, in Arrival
Vengeance.  Of course, in some Traveller games it's not possible to do deep
space jumps like this.

The problem is that if you analyse the descrition of Vargr and Aslan
society we have, the dangerous part of the two constitute a very small
fraction of the total. Starships are expensive. Even 40-year old obsolescent
starships are expensive. If an Aslan clan lord were to outfit a sizable
number of his _ihatei_ AND ESCORTED THEM OFF SOMEWHERE 100 PARSECS AWAY, he
wouldn't have the strength to defend himself against any neighbor that
kept his warships at home and used his troop transports to ferry a lot
more _ihatei_ over to that that nice, well-developed, undefended land
right next door, that he could ever hope to send off to settle 100 parsecs
away (where any colony that survives is unable to add their strength to
help defend his home holdings).

Of course, if the Aslans give their _ihatei_ obsolescent ships (which canon
says they do), they have the added disadvantage of being in worse shape
than most colonial and all regular fleets, and of inferior TL too.
 
Vargr Corsairs are a small fraction of any Vargr society. The _Kforuzeng_,
said to be the largest band in Gvurrdon, at its height couldn't muster
enough ships to give a single light cruiser trouble. Granted that the
Rebellion Era apparently saw some Vargr light cruisers turn corsair, they
still shouldn't be able to match the Domain _peacetime_ navy.

Now up the Domain spending from peacetime levels (said to be 3% of GWP, but
apparently only 1%) to wartime level (15%), and you have to wonder how the
hell the Vargr corsairs managed to kick Norris completely out of three
subsectors.

As for overrunning Corridor, well, if you go through the Megatraveller
Journals, you will find that most of the high-population planets didn't
actually fall to the Vargr. Mostly they reached various forms of
accomodation (Norris may actually face more problems with human pocket
empires in Corridor than Vargr).

Maybe, but propably not. The warrant is said to make him Commander-in-Chief
of the forces in the Marches. MY take is that something as powerful as
that would be hedged with a lot of safeguards, including an expiration
date. YMMV, but certainly Norris' musings in _Survival Margin_ seem to
indicate that he thought himself on shaky ground (though fully justified).
Didn't he actually write something about comemorating Strephon by taking
his name in vain?

I know that in _The Kinunir_ we are told that an Imperial Warrant is an
anonymous "get out of anything free" card made out to bearer. If you want
to believe that, feel free. But I prefer to regard this particular piece
of canon as on a par with the information that four Kinunirs are strong
enough to cow the entire Regina subsector...

Since I brought it up, I guess I should answer, at least to the best of my 
memory until I can take a look at MTJ4.

It was supposed to be an alliance of sorts, marriage was suggested, between 
Margaret and Dulinor.  As I saw it, it was going to be the net that drew 
the Imperium back together.

At least that is what I think I remember reading...

IIRC, T-plates give off quantities of heat and light in addition to their
reactionless drive capabilities, probably due to some inefficiencies
in application of the theory. These quantities can apparently, at least
on takeoff, be fatal to exposed personnel (see the Traveller scenario
_Exit Visa_ from _The Traveller Book_).

I assume the choice of standard materials rather than expensive was deliberate
for YTU reasons. This would have saved a few tons though pushed the price up
considerably.

I got Radscanner 500 lbs, 10cf, $200,000.

IR/Thermograph/Passive Radar are already included in PESA.

The PESA and radscanner are a significant portion of the price tag. I would be
tempted to cut corners to bring the price down and reduce these a couple of scan
ratings.

This is an interface shuttle right? Have you considered making it battery
operated? A couple of hours stored power would weigh half as much, cost 5/8 as
much and only occupy 1/8 the space. Enough to get into orbit and CG/fly back for
a recharge!

>Space Performance : sAcc 0.656 g, sDec 0.656 g, sMR 0.656

This is quite ambitious for this TL! I think a little less performance would
save a great deal of price.

Keep up the good work.

Subject: PBeM campaigns versus creative writing

PBEM campaigns are difficult to administer and organize.
Maybe that's why it's hard to get anything done by them...
it's easy to lose interest or just plain forget what's going on.

Having said that, PBEM isn't impossible: just slow, and
if you can handle once-monthly postings with occasional
flurries, then it can be an enjoyable and low-bandwidth
diversion.

The point is, you shouldn't expect to go anywhere with
it -- in general.  Scale down your expectations and you'll
be fine.

Seems to me that e-mail is most productive when people
are talking rather than transacting.  It's kind of halfway
between letter-writing and chat channels.  It's like
conversational bowling rather than conversational
volleyball.  You watch the other people, then they watch
you.  Comments may follow, but there's no efficient way
to do a tete-a-tete.

What I'd like to see is some local color spewed from all
you creative, imaginitive folks out there.  Pick a world in
the Spinward Marches, read up on it from whatever
source material you prefer to use, and write up an anecdote
about a character's experience with some facet of the world's
people.

Or better, have something akin to THUDDD -- a moderator
picks a world, and each PC writes up an experience s/he
had on that world (or in system).  This adds 1) color, and
2) adventure hooks.

Actually, it was to prevent flamer wars on what is acceptable and 
what is not.  Those who know enough about the system to make the 
changes make them.  Those who don't, don't.  IMTU, we use 
differing hull types.  But these shuttles were for the general masses. 
It is too much work to make 25 different iterations of the shuttle to 
cover all possibilities.

Yes, you are correct.  This is a glaring error.  This is repeated in all 
shuttles.  I'll repost to my website when I have them corrected so as 
to not use up bandwidth here.

Well, I though about that.  Honest.  But, when in orbit, distances are 
a wee bit farther than they are dirtside.  This gives the little extra 
range to help navigate and avoid other shuttles.

Thought about that, too.  But I wanted more than a couple hours of 
flight time.  They may make runs to a trojan point or to the 100D limit 
or just about anywhere else.  And on heavy G worlds, the thrust may 
not be enough to make it into orbit in that time.  Just taking it up to a 
1.3 G world and you now have to spend 1.2 hours making orbit.  
Make the world bigger, too, and it takes even longer.  This shuttle, 
with its constant power source, can handle a much broader range of 
possibilities.  That's not to say that there aren't custom jobs out 
there.

Normal GT cockpit/systems bridges only have one.  I was following

That is the only drawback I can find to using fissionables.  They're

The only ones I know about are the small craft; like air/rafts and I am

Well, I am glad you liked them.  I, personally, feel they fill a gap.  
You could own a little fleet of these and maneuver around a busy 
shipyard where the larger ones might not be able to.

A couple of G-hours maximum.  0-2 if the stars aren't moving relative to one another, probably up to 6-7 if they have considerable relative movement.
