    Modifiers to Hull Rating:

    Interior Design/Construction:

    Partial Comapartmentalization: +5%

    Total Compartmentalization: +10%

     

    Hull Construction:[Hardened Steel assumed to be standard]

    Planetoid Hull: +10 Body, +10 Def, ½ Cost, cannot enter atmosphere

    Buffered Planetoid Hull: +15 Body, +15 Def, 2/3 Cost, cannot enter atmosphere

    Both planetoid hulls can have armor added, but get no bonuses for hull type, or for interior design

    They also cannot be equipped with stealth hulls.

     

    Advanced Hull Material I[ Titanium Alloy]: +1 Body/+1 Def

    Advanced Hull Material II [Light Composite]: +2 Body/+1 Def

    Advanced Hull Material III [Composite Laminate]: +2 Body/+2 Def

    Advanced Hull Material IV [Crystal Iron]: +5% Body/+3 Def, can add thermal superconducting armor

    Advanced Hull Material V [superdense]: +10% Body/ +4 Def, can add tsa

    Advanced Hull Material VI [bonded Superdense]: +20% Body, +8 Def, can add tsa

    Advanced Hull Material VII [Coherent Superdense]: +25% Body, +12 Def, can add tsa

    Advanced Hull Material VIII [Living Metal]: +15% Body, no tsa, regenerates 1 Body per Hour, *3 Cost

    Advanced Hull Material IX [biomechanical]: Standard Body, regens 1 body per Day, *2 Cost

    Advanced Hull Material X[battlemech Armor]: +3 DEF, +2 Body, counts as hardened TSA

    Advanced Hull Material XI[Ferro Fibrous Mech Armor] +5 Def, +3 Body, counts as hardened tsa

    Advanced Hull Material XIII[Ferro Aluminum Armor] +4 Def, +3 Body, Counts as TSA, brittle

    Advanced Hull Material XIV[battlemech etc EndoSteel Internal Structure]: +3 Body, extra bulky

     

    Hull Types:

    Dispersed/Open Structure: cannot enter atmosphere, no added armor[Def 4], adds +4 body, often modular, .75 cost

    Needle: Airframe or streamlined, fully atmospheric, adds +3 body, Airframe adds +2 PSR for maneuvers, cost of basic hull is *2 CR

    Wedge: AF or SL, fully atmospheric, adds +2 body, AF +2 PSR, *1.5 Cr

    Cylinder: AF or SL, fully atmospheric, adds +1 body, AF +1 PSR, *1.25 CR

    Box: SL only, partially atmospheric, adds +1 body, standard cost

    Sphere: SL Only, partially atmospheric, standard body, standard cost

    Dome/Disk: AF or SL, fully atmospheric, adds +2 body, AF +1 PSR, *1.25 cost

    Close Structure: Unstreamlined, adds +2 body, *1.25 cost

    Slab: AF or SL, +2 body, +1 PSR, *1.5 cost

     

    Sensor Packages:

    Traveller sensor packages are divided into active and passive sets.

     

    The Active Arrays can have a range of anywhere from 3,000 to 480,000 kilometers

    And consists of a variety of active and passive sensor emitters, making it a much more sophisticated

    Version of Radar.[Radar, Lidar, Sonar]

     

    Passive sensor arrays, use large antennae to detect any electromagnetic emanations from a potential target.

    These are extremely sophisticated and precise sensors.[High Res Thermal, Densitometers, and Neural Activity Sensors are all passive.

    Re: Anyone have pre-made star ships???

     

    thought I heard my name taken in vein, or was it artery, I have a displacement crapload of assorted starship stuff archived, not just for traveller, I just have to figure out what I can and cant hand out

    at the very least I can probably toss out the generic traveller starship template

    Re: Feeding a starship crew for a year

     

    this is where hydroponic tanks can be very useful too... grow some veggies etc... extra oxygen scrubbing etc

     

    for colonization purposes we could talk about various crops that have a myriad of uses, Hemp comes to mind for starters

  16. Source for Comstar Traveller Hero books?

    Re: Source for Comstar Traveller Hero books?

     

    ok folks, I have managed to scare up a few more books, they are 50.00 a set plus shipping, before I ate the cost of shipping, I really cant do that this time, shipping will be via USPS Priority Mail with return receipt, so total cost should be about 56.50

    per set, this also assumes shipping inside the US

  22. Back to Traveller Hero

    Re: Back to Traveller Hero

     

    been away from the boards for a while guys... especially after a recent heart attack... but you can probably blame me for a lot of the heavy handed mechanics in Traveller Hero...

     

    one problem with Starship and vehicle design in the Hero system that has existed since 4E is that there are no rules for space/volume/mass etc for various components... the only system that did have it was in Champions 2, and I was told I couldnt use it

    in TH... which I to this day do not agree with. so it becomes up to the GM to determine this.
