This was very unpopular with the officers, not least because they were now berthed near the noisy auxiliary machinery while the turbines made the rear of the ship much quieter than they had been in earlier steamships.

Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? hmm.. it was posted at starherofandom for a quite a while, so you might try archive.org it was also posted at freelancetraveller at one point, but it was lost in a system crash there

Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? if you have questions about how specific was handled either Eodin or myself can help with those

Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? keep an eye on e-bay or Amazon there might be copies show up there theres also an older version from before publication that was more of a preview

Re: [Traveller Hero] What was it exactly? Traveller Hero was mostly a conversion of Classic Traveller, with some elments of Megatraveller and New Era thrown in. we really didnt add anything new or take much out that I remember, although characters dying during creation is now optional ,

Then on 21 November 1933 the aircraft crashed due to structural failure of one of the tail booms, killing 14 people aboard and one on the ground. Although two more prototypes were ordered in 1933, the project was canceled in 1935 before they could be completed. 0 2) Civilian Crew Configuration Note: A nacell was proturbed from the leading edge, with cockpit for two pilots, navigator, radio-navigator and chief mechanic. Seven more crew members were located in other sections of aircraft and communicated by internal telephone. K-7 was designed as a multipurpose civil and military aircraft. One of passenger options was developed to carry 128 passengers up to 5,000km. Other design - "luxe" - supposed to arrange 16 luxirily cabins for 64 passengers. Aircraft supposed to have a comfortable club-room, snack-bar and kitchen.
