I was hoping that explanation would be a bit more concise, sorry if it was too long.ġ D-ton is the volume of 1000kg of liquid hydrogen, which is about 14 cubic meters. Many of these conspirators over extending to do so and ultimately collapsing, but their goal was achieved, the new system took root and Am’zo collapsed in turn. The new system and a great deal of parts were released onto the market in a coordinated dump in an effort to break the Am’zo monopoly. Their own subcontractors were asked to develop their components in this system under a ruse that they were going into regular Am’zo ships. Of course this small group of Am’zos largest subcontractors entered in to this conspiracy at great risk to themselves and adhered to utmost secrecy while this system was developed. These ships were the integrated ships as seen in the provided deck plans and these ships were far out of reach of the common Traveller.Ī core group of Am’zos suppliers conspired to create a system of modular ships components which could be built to a standard specification by their own suppliers and anyone else with the inclination and parts from many different suppliers could be bolted together to make a custom modular ship. In “reality” a ship would be built like a tall building with the engines in the basement and sensors on the roof, forwards and up are the same direction, thereby creating “gravity” as you accelerate.įirst a bit of fluff to facilitate the folly I’ve given myself.Ī big nasty zaibatsu, let’s call them Am’zo, had a monopoly on space ship design and construction, which they used to further their nefarious schemes. To me this feels like driving a car with the doors full of petrol.Īll the ships (except Merc cruisers) are laid out the same way an ocean going vessel is with “up” perpendicular to the direction of travel. For two main reasons:Īll the fuel is just jammed in to any spare space available on the floor plan. I realised that I hate the way ships are designed in Traveller. I’ve been a long time fan of Traveller, playing in high school in the 90’s, but after getting Mongoose Traveller 1 and reading through a lot of this website:
