Re: Starbase Floorplans couple of resources from other games that might be of use GURPS Traveller- Starports 101 Starbases-Judges Guild for traveller

Re: Superplane/vehicle pictures (One stop shopping!) heres a site a friend pointed out for german prototype and concept aircraft http://www.luft46.com/

Re: Superplane/vehicle pictures (One stop shopping!) we've been tinkering with a concept on IRC I call GA-WIG which involves using contra-gravity to augment the WIG Effect this would allow for higher payloads and hopefully more maneuverability/speed I would think that the old soviet craft would handle like pigs at best, and theres not that much margin for error at that altitude

Re: Superplane/vehicle pictures (One stop shopping!) for really cool and rather odd vehicles, heres a site dedicated to Wingships which are a hybrid aircraft/hovercraft combination, and more than a little scary most of these are soviet designs. http://www.se-technology.com/wig/html/main.php?open=showcraft&code=&craft=24 there are flight videos on this page also theres just something cool and scary about flying something with the mass of a C5 Galaxy at 600kph... at 6 feet above seal level

Re: Old version of Star Hero theres always the old playtest draft of Star Hero which last I looked was still on the Red October site, it had some useful if dated stuff in it

Re: Sky Captains P-40 Warhawk I would agree, my first thought was the XP-55 also. it looks more like something out of Crimson Skies though.

here ya go, heres a rough draft idea the MG armarment and the flight speed/range/ceiling are based on the the P-40K Warhawk data taken from a Reprint of Janes WW2 Fighter Aircraft hard telling which warhawk variant its based on, so I used the most common one The actual plane could mount a centerline fuel tank which would add another hours flight endurance I am trying to figure out what Frankies plane is based on, or if its something custom, the Janes I have doesnt show anything that comes close.

Re: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Sky Captains Plane is the easy part, its a modified P-40 Warhawk gimme a couple of days

Re: Starship Reviews the laser comm does have the others must have the comm limit, my bad for forgetting it on this older design

Re: Starship Reviews Ships Fusion Reactor: Endurance Reserve (250 END, 50 REC) Reserve: (75 Active Points); OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Custom Modifier (only for powering electrical devices; -1/4), Custom Modifier (Real Equipment; -1/4) The boosted dex and speed are only usable at full flight speed

Re: Starship Reviews heres the armed merchant from my current campaign, mostly based on Traveller Rules.

Re: Starship Reviews ok, I will open the review, then post one of my own in a bit 1. First probably silly question, based on not being familiar with the vehicle in question, the ship doesnt have any way of surviving outside an atmosphere, though you call it an open topped space vehicle. 2. Defenses are ok for a scout/ Intel ship, but its really vulnerable. 3.

Re: Worlds of Empire? Heaven and Earth can be downloaded from this site, theres a new version in beta stage also, but no ETA on completion http://www.downport.com/wbd/HEAVEN_&_EARTH.htm

Re: Worlds of Empire? I realized I probably shouldnt have gone for maximum output as far as planetary data on these, but they do give an example of what kind of detail is available, with Heaven and Earth, which is freeware even. this was set for Megatraveller with the additional rules for generation from the Digest Group World Builders Handbook. it can also be set for a lot less detail, and has settings to use the GURPS Space/GURPS Traveller world building rules. H & E also produces planetary and system maps, but I didnt include with the posts to save bandwith, and I'm not quite sure they are in usable format

Re: Worlds of Empire? i just downloaded Heaven and Earth again, Lemme tinker with the output, and I'll post a planet here and to Starherofandom, we can then play with the data and see what we can come up with

Re: Worlds of Empire? what about starting a world building thread, and building some non canon planets people can use?

Re: Pokey Starships? I play it when I can, which isnt often enough, to this day I have never understood why it was so hard to find local traveller players, especially with GDW about 2 miles away

Re: Post-apocalyptic fantasy I am kinda nobody brougtht up the Horseclans novels yet by Robert Adams

Re: Pokey Starships? traveller has detonation laser nukes, I dont remember how I wrote them up though, I'd probably go with a 12D6 RKA AP, maybe an autofire for the seperate beams

Re: Pokey Starships? I use the traveller system, so ships have anywhere from 1-6G of maneuver rating/flight speed. I know its outdated anymore, but I am too much of a stick in the mud to change that much I guess ]

Re: Pokey Starships? I agree on the space combat missiles having way too short a range, but I also dont go to the extreme ranges you see in the Honorverse. I use something closer to Traveller and GURPS Small Missile Bay: RKA 8d6, Explosion (+1/2), 250 Charges (Recovers Under Limited Circumstances; requies base or tender to reload; +1/2), MegaScale (1" = 10,000 km; +1 1/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4), Autofire (10 shots; +2) (660 Active Points); OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), -1 1/4), Crew-Served ([3-4] people; -1/2), Limited Arc Of Fire (60 degrees; -1/2), Real Weapon (-1/4) This is my version of a 50 ton missile bay, the missiles are a HEAP Warhead instead of nukes. I figure on using the defensive rollback method. especially when you have several bays firing at once Light Missile Rack: RKA 6 1/2d6, Explosion (+1/2), 64 Charges (+1/2), Autofire (3 shots; +1 1/4), MegaScale (1" = 10,000 km; +1 1/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (475 Active Points); OIF Immobile (-1 1/2), Custom Modifier (must have a viable target lock to fire; -1/2), Crew-Served ([3-4] people; 2 batteries with 2 crew per battery; -1/2), Can Be Missile Deflected (-1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4) Standard space combat missile, can be mounted 3 to a turret. The turret missile mounts a 150mm HEAP Warhead The Bay Missile mounts a 250mm HEAP Warhead

Re: The City State returns.... this is the 3rd or 4th edition IIRC, Judges Guild, then Mayfair, and now WW while most of the old Judges Guild stuff wasnt that great, the city state modules were pretty good. somewhere I still have my original copy of the JG version. some of the JG stuff has seen reprinting over the years Tegel Manor and Dark Tower I know

Re: Prefab for Herbs and Poisons this is very true, a herbalist or healer could have quite an arsenal, a GM could allow some to be purchased as equiipment instead of magic items for that matter I willl start posting more herbs after I get a little more input, or in a couple of days probably.
