Nice constructs!

 

Have you given any thought so statting out the Package Deals for the various Branches of Service along the same lines as the ones in Dark Champions? I was looking at the writeups and I think there's room to port them to Hero pretty easily.

mostly were going to point folks to the Terran Empire or Star Hero books and give the differences in the traveller version

I'm getting the same error for all the ships you used the Traveller Warcraft.hdt template to create - can't find template, will use default. Can you post the Traveller Warcraft template or email it to me?
