UPDATE: I've found the reason for the Pricing Discrepancy. Highguard, pg8. "STANDARD DESIGNS VS NEW DESIGNS Some ship designs have been used for centuries, and have become standard across the stars. Plans for such spacecraft are freely available and components can be purchased in bulk by shipyards, reducing the cost of the ship’s construction by 10%. This reduced cost does not include ammunition for weapons or fuel, which must be bought - at full price - separately for the ship. If a buyer needs a new type of ship, he must employ a ship architect to design it. The architect’s fees are an additional 1% of the final cost of the ship." UPDATE 2: The Bridge size issue was covered in an Errata Update. Correct sized should be 51-99 tons = 6-ton bridge and 100-199 = 10-ton. Honestly, I prefer my explanation of Scout Services politics more. Link to Errata: www.mongoosepublishing.com/pages/downloads-htm

A few people pointed to a rule about that in the original 1970's edition, which is about as useful as telling your first spouse you have a food allergy and then expecting your 3rd spouse decades later to have heard that.

Classic Traveller ship design included a discount for "standard designs". Page 56 of "The Traveller Book" states "Standard designs are easier to produce; their prices reflect a 10% reduction in normal pricing". The Type S Scout is a standard design. I don't own the Mongoose rules so I can't check them for a "standard design" discount but I would guess that this is the reason for the discrepancy you found.

Again, the brilliance of Traveller is the multiple "mini-games" that exist in it... Can you survive CharGen? Mini-game... Want to build a ship? Mini-game... Want to create a star system? Mini-game... Want to define the planets in the system? Mini-game... I sure I've spent more time playing those associated mini-games by myself then I have playing Traveller in a group. God, I love this game!! This isn't "per the book" but for the fuel tanks for the power plant, I don't round until the final amount... So I'd calculate it (using your S Type Scout example) as 10% of 4T Power Plant = 0.4 T for 4 weeks operations, multiplied by 4 sets of 4 week (16 weeks total) = 1.6T rounding to 2T... It's just silly that 0.4T fuel tank per 4 weeks rounds to 3T for 12 weeks. Yeah, you could even just go 20 weeks for that same 2T

It amazes me how immersive the scout ship is to this setting after watching how to build it! Common area? Too expensive, cut it. Who needs crew morale? Captain's office on the bridge? Sure! Just enough power to run everything except the sensors and the guns. So if you need to run from a fight prepare to be weaponless and blind while your jump engines warm up! Ability to refuel the ship in just over a day? Heck no, that's going to take too long, lets dump extra cash so we can refuel in a day for our week long jumps into the next sector! Computer to run all of this? Well, it's just a 41 million dollar space ship, lets buy the cheapest piece of junk we can find and jerryrig it to work. Sure everything on the ship will run slow as heck, but who cares as long as they can do the jumps properly.

I used to work at a large University. Hundreds of millions of dollars poured through that place every semester. Every year they built a fancy new building with lots of wasted space and lovely landscaping. Everything looked clean and new and photographed well on a brochure. When I left in 2016, the back-end computer system that held everything together was still Windows 98. Our IT Department had spent years upon years patching and jury-rigging this janky computer system into some Frankenstein's Monster of code that was always on the verge of crashing. Every year the answer was, "We don't have it in the budget to upgrade the computer system," as the same panel then greenlight a massively expensive project that looked pretty. Each of those new buildings came with the additional cost of one less parking lot. As attendance grew (thanks to the new buildings) parking space shrank (thanks to the new buildings). Parking passes grew more expensive (don't get me started on how full-time employees also had to buy passes at $150 a year just to park at our job). However one parking lot never got touched. That was the lot for the senior University officials (who "paid" for their passes out of an expense account instead of their paycheck). To me, that is the Scout Ship's Office.

@@SSkorkowsky - back in the early 2000's my best friend worked IT at a major PC gaming company. He had been telling management that they needed to get either a new or backup mail server for their email for years. Well that single mail server finally died and he was tasked with recovering everything from it along with rigging it for limited usage. The company had no working email, internal or external for over a week while my friend worked on that old mail server. He would sleep for 2 to 4 hours a night before heading back to work to deal with the problem. Needless to say but within two weeks of this happening they had 3 brand new email servers at the company. Once my friend had set them up and had most of the lost data from the old server recovered, I believe that they gave him a week off. When it comes to IT, it's not important to who ever is in charge until it suddenly is not working and then it is the most important thing to that company. IT is almost always viewed as doing nothing when everything is working fine, but when something breaks they can not get it fixed fast enough.

The 10% discount for standard designs is still part of 2016 High Guard. There are other small micro adjustments to price that are hidden through those rules, like having a light hull for a -25% hull cost. But speaking as a Traveller fan since the original box of booklets, wobblily price calculations are pretty commonplace, and "how on earth did the work that out?" the mantra of designers. I see it as an argument in favor of cutting the players some slack in their ship price calcs.

Traveller got the sizes of far future computer hardware wrong and underestimated what software would be capable of, but that was just a matter of scale, they still understood that computers existed and would continue to improve. 3D printing tech - that would have been seen as magic tech in 1977, or even the 1990s.

Seth....that Type S Scout Courier behind you....is looking good. The Ships office to me would seem to be the equivalent to an at sea cabin in modern warships for captains. Basically its a stripped down room with a bunk, a computer, maybe a head (fresher) for his use. This would make sense when you think about the ship only has 3 crew. There would be periods of time in service when there would be no one on duty in the bridge. I can see when decommissioned and being either bought up or loaned out, crews converting it into a full stateroom for one bridge crewman, giving the scout a total of 5 staterooms in essence. Or 4 staterooms with one of the normal staterooms converted into a galley/common area.

@ronaldsmith8980 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Seth Great Video (as always). Regarding Jack's grumbling about the 'office' taking up a large portion of the Bridge space, and that space not being available for other uses, it might be a throw back to something in the original rules (1980s) that Mongoose has misunderstood. Back then it was common, in fact mandatory, for Bridges to have an extra room in them like that. However it was NOT an office, it was the "Computer Room". Computers in those early rules were not built into walls, but instead could take up one or more tons of space, and required their own rooms, on the Bridge. Looks to me like whoever did the floor plans wanted to base them as much as possible on one of the original (1980s) deck plans, but the fact that the extra room was no longer needed was lost in translation somewhere.

@SSkorkowsky 2 жыл бұрын

That sounds very probable. In looking through many of the old Traveller material, there was always a Computer Room with some giant, Forbidden Planet-style computer that I imagine used reel-to-reel tapes. If I were a reasonable man, I would totally believe this. However... an equally plausible answer is that centuries ago, in the early days of the Scout Services, there was a computer room. As technology advanced, the computer became smaller and smaller. Eventually someone started sharing the room with the computer as a cramped office. Eventually the computer fully integrated into the ship, and no longer needed a room at all. However, years of tradition of "That's how we've always done it", bureaucratic red-tape of hiring expensive ship architects to re-design the ship layout, and office politics within the Scout Services of what should be done with that space (a poll of 60 senior officials came back with 84 suggestions), meant that instead of modifying the tried-and-true outdated deckplan to use that space in a more efficient manner, it remained an empty room that captains used as an office.

From a guy who has made scores of ships in this system (from small ships to multi-million ton vessels*): 1. I find, that due to the way the Hull Points are calculated, that tonnage in multiples of 3 work best. 300-ton, 600-ton, 1500-ton, etc... This is because when you get to the divide by X.5 it means no crazy number with a decimal point. That is a personal thing, so not important in the grand scheme of things. 2. The organization of the ship building process leaves something to be desired, as well as the format of the sheet. I totally agree with you on the idea that the software should be listed directly beneath the computer listing. More than that though is the "Spacecraft Options" section. Many items there should be listed along with their parent systems, for both purchasing and listing. For example: the various fuel tank options should be in the fuel tank section, the numerous sensor options should be with that part and all the various living/working quarters should be consolidated in a single section. There are more, of course. 3. Crew. There are at least 2 different types of crew members that need to have the totals of the rest of the crew in order to determine their numbers. It becomes a bit of a weird thing when trying to determine total crew numbers. Caveat: This really only affects larger ships with bigger crews. As I prefer the capitol-size/type ship to the mini ones (their explanation of how a small freighter is a viable option has always run flat with me, bulk is always better), it has been a bit of an issue. Note: I have made both PDF and excel (now open office calc) sheets for this, so that it will total the numbers as you go. Not every number, and the excel/open office calc can do more than the PDF one (though I need to do some work on the open office calc one since switching). For the PDF sheets I have made different version for different size ship types from the small 100-tonners to ships larger than the Tigress-class dreadnought. They are in the old Traveller format used in the core book and High Guard (along with Software being listed down below Staterooms, unfortunately), as I have only recently acquired the newer version. (Same with the PC sheet.) If you would like them when I am finished, let me know how you would like them to be delivered. I can Dropbox them easy enough. *Why? Because I can, and I like it! I even did one 600-trillion ton ship I called "Home."

Hope you and your players have fun. One piece of advice I was given, failed to understand, and then learned the hard way after we started playing, is to really decide what kind of Traveller game you want to play. The book gives 10,000 options that it can seem overwhelming. But you don't have to do them all. Traveller is a massive open world. It gives you the tools to do all sorts of sci-fi campaigns, but it's up to you to decide what it is. So if you and your players think calculating cargo ad passengers sounds like too much math, then don't. Find a theme that you all like. Maybe traders, mercenaries, pirates, crew of a massive capital ship, Space Marines, deep-space explorers. Name a sci-fi show and Traveller can do it. My favorite campaign we played was a covert spy campaign where they were flying around in a slow spy ship disguised as a cargo-hauler and trying to get some stolen data before returning to Imperial Space (a highly expanded run of Islands in the Rift). Don't try to explore every system (I'm not even sure that's possible. The Traveller map is monstrous). Choose or create a sub-sector or 2, populate it with some interesting characters (probably from the PCs' backstories) and play around in that. Most of all, have a blast.

@mattskarn6978 2 жыл бұрын

@@SSkorkowsky I'll definitely take your advice to heart. When the time comes to run my first campaign with Traveller, it will be a big discussion we have before we do character creation. I ran two of my friends through the character creator yesterday and it was a lot to explain since both only had experience with dnd and other class-based systems but they did get the hang of it fairly quickly. One thing that did become apparent however was that I needed to be a little bit better at explaining that your career might not go the way you want and that you aren't guaranteed the archetype you wanted to make. And explain that that is sort of part of the fun. One of the players got into the Military Academy cause he wanted to be in the Army Cavalry, but a war broke out and he risked being drafted into the wrong branch, but he talked his way out of that and went on to graduate with honours. However, in his second term (1st term in the army) He failed his survival check and he saw his whole platoon killed because of an incompetent commander. So he left the army and became a pirate. But, I got the sense that while that backstory sounds awesome on paper, the player was very disappointed that he was kicked out of the army so quickly. Another thing that also did come up is that rolling the same even twice isn't fun. So I'll probably make a rule that you cannot get the same even twice in a row in the same career to make things a little more varied and exciting. Unless it is a life event of course. Sector creation is a lot of fun, I found that I enjoyed sparser star systems so a lot of the rolls were rolled at DM-2. Hydrographics was also a little confusing when it came to certain atmospheres. But, I think I have been doing it the right way. Anyways, thanks for the advice and have a blast!

"Finity’s End is a far-traveling ship and wide space is the deep that she knows Infinity’s black is the emblem she bears, and never a mark does it show The stuff of dead suns is her iron and her steel; in a nova's light she was made She set out to travel the day she was born, in the free-running, long-hauling trade And no sun can hold us and keep us for long, for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free. And no star can own her and no world’s her own, for Finity’s End is she. The Company thought that they’d make them a law and have all the ships for their own “You’re Company ships now and Company crews, you’ll pay us and serve us alone.” James Robert the First was her captain that day, and he sent to all ships in the deep: “Farewell to their ports and good luck to them all, for what they can’t catch they can’t keep.” And no sun can hold us and keep us for long, for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free. And no star can own her and no world’s her own, for Finity’s End is she. And, wonder to tell, Mother Earth changed her mind, and called back her magistrates too, For no ship would haul beyond Alpha or Pell, so no mail and no cargo got through. Then Unionside came with their ships and their guns and closed up the ports one and all “You’ll all haul for us now,” the Union men said, “You’ll come and you’ll go where we call.” And no sun can hold us and keep us for long, for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free. And no star can own her and no world’s her own, for Finity’s End is she. Now Captain James Robert was vexed and annoyed, so he sent out the word like before: “We’re free ships and crews and we go where we please; we’ll haul you to hell and no more.” Then Unionside haulers like Candice and Fay, Merry Gold, Carina, and Fame, From Unionside ports reached the wide deep of space, and to Finity’s End they all came. And no sun can hold us and keep us for long, for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free. And no star can own her and no world’s her own, for Finity’s End is she. “Ah, well now,” said Earth, “you must come to our side, for there is no place else you can be.” But Captain James Robert still sent out the word that all ships from now on must be free. So no ship would come and no true ship would go but the traitor Shalleen and her kind Shalleen drifts in pieces around Shalleen Point, and never a rest will she find. And no sun can hold us and keep us for long, for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free. And no star can own her and no world’s her own, for Finity’s End is she. The treaty was signed then and sealed and made sure, for ports to be open to trade; And borders be none to withhold us or bind-no law on our decks but the law we have made! And no sun can hold us and keep us for long, for infinity’s ours, and infinity’s free. And no star can own her and no world’s her own, for Finity’s End is she."

Taking a cue from The Expanse, they were little more than cargo containers with grapple legs. PCs managed to take down 2, but the 3rd one latched on, welded itself to the hull, and then cut a breeching hole straight through the hull and into the ship. Pirates in vacc suits came storming out with a breeching shield in the lead. Fantastic battle. The PCs later had difficulty landing the ship planet-side due to the huge box fused to the side of their hull. They managed to cut it off and weld the plug of cut hull back in place over the hole.

I made a ship using a first edition (i.e. 1970's ) ship building system. Except for the computers (huge), Marc Miller published before Moore's law, it was the same but I made my custom ship cross the rift. 400 hull, Jump 4 x1 jump 4 fuel load and a second jump 4 fuel load in the cargo hold with collapsible tanks. It still had a few tons of cargo when crossing the rift. Oh and a passenger quarter. When I showed it to Marc years back he said he thought he had made it impossible but had not thought of that use of collapsible tanks. Hence the Imperium's need for fleet tankers. Essentially it jumps 4 parsecs to a way point in the rift and then self refuels then jumps 4 more parsecs to the old islands. Trade in the islands with the collapsed tanks folded. Then crosses to he new island cluster and repeats the 2 x 4 crossing to the Spinward Marches. The reception there is a little tricky. Aslan problems. Needless to say the shipyard that makes these is in the Old Islands sector deep in the rift.

Now if you can work out big ship yards have to be to make a huge ship and the construction times. Shipyards have to be 5 times the tonnage of the ship to be built. I have been extrapolating crane load limits and multiple shipyard making segments and then assembling them all in one huge facility to cut down the construction time limit to "1 Million Credits per Day" . This just doesn't work with Dreadnought classes and higher. This would take decades for some ships at "1MCr per Day"! Not to mention the amount of Engineers it would take to make it and to mention that the pay for all those Engineers at 4,000 Cr per month.

If you were shipping the Air Raft to a location, then it's take 4 tons of cargo space, but be stacked up with everything else and not easy to access. Think of it like a big semi-truck. Sure you can park a car inside of it like in Spy Hunter (yeah, I'm dating myself there, but Spy Hunter was awesome), however you don't have enough room inside the semi's trailer to open your car's door. So the docking space is slightly bigger than the vehicle docked inside it to allow room to fuel, maintain, and enter/exit the docked vehicle.

On other note have you taken a look at Ars Magica fifth edition? It's my absolute favourite system to run or play anything medieval and magical. It has a very robust system for making your own spells, which is a rarity and the supplements add on to it immensely, some times even making rules for different kinds of magics. My most used supplement is probably the Covenants book which expands on the core book's base (Covenant) building and managing rules, how to make customized laboratories for your studies etc. My only problem with the core book is that parts of it are edited like an esoteric guide to medieval alchemy, which is fitting but quite irritating and some times you really have to dig around to find the one sentence that explains the thing you are trying to understand.

@KitSAllGoode 2 жыл бұрын

No idea if there's any rules to support it, but as an explanation of why the book scout ships are cheaper than the construction rules would suggest, Scout Services is buying quite a few of the Type-S. They probably do bulk or continuous orders and get a discount for the volume of work they provide to the shipyards. Which could also explain why the type remains the same despite reports of shortcomings from the field. Any modifications would mean renegotiating that sweet discount they secured on the Type-S, and there's no way the shipyards would let them get away with it again. Alternatively, another in-universe explanation might be that Scout Services uses higher TL shipyards to produce the Type-S, and since the work on a TL 12 ship isn't as intensive for them, they charge less for the ship. The book cost could represent the discount from a TL 14 yard, or perhaps the average price Scout Services pays across all the TL 12+ yards they contract with. Still annoying for the rules example, but it's a possible set of in-universe explanations that suggest rules for discounts on shipbuilding.

@lkriticos7619 Жыл бұрын
