I did get electronic downloads of Mongoose 1e, and one could probably adapt that. Just from looking at the preview the layout, design, graphics, and polish is a lot better than the first edition of Traveller from Mongoose, but they still have a long ways to go.

Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition Pdf Free Download And Install A major gripe with some reviews is that the 2nd core rulebook does not contain any ship design system and that this will be included in High Guard. While this shouldn't in principle be a major problem TNE also had no ship design system in the core book and indeed you had to buy a separate boxed game or IIRC wait years for the errata-laden Fire Fusion and Steel to get one it does mean that my interest in starting off the excellent Pirates of Drinax campaign using the new rules has rather dissipated in that the ship design rules have clearly changed so radically that I have no idea how the 1st edition ships included will actually operate as regards fuel consumption etc.

For example the players starter ship in Pirates of Drinax has 60 of its tons given up for fuel for one jump-2 at 40 tons and 4 weeks of power plant operation at 20 tons. But as far as I can see from the standard ships in second edition power plant fuel consumption in 2nd edition is radically lower - as low as 1 ton a month for a far trader - so the Drinaxi Harrier should presumably therefore have a much smaller fuel requirement and maybe ish tons freed up for other uses like extra cargo or extra staterooms to pack in more marines?

However absent the 2nd edition ship design rules there is no indication at all in the core 2nd edition rulebook what the power consumption ratio of a ship actually is and whatever it is it does not appear to be the same as 1st edition High Guard at least as far as I can see from the online SRD.

There are also some obvious inconsistencies if not errata in the standard ships in the second edition corebook: The safari ship has a fuel requirement of 49 tons to allow a jump 2 at 40 tons and 4 weeks operation of a 7 ton power rated fusion plant However despite being also a ton jump-2 and thrust-1 ship with the same stated power requirements the far trader has a smaller 5 ton 75 rated power plant and only needs 41 tons of fuel.

Is this yet more of Mongoose's errata or is there some rationale for these figures? Turning to the yacht, traditionally in classic Traveller this was unstreamlined - making it actually a very inconvenient ship to operate as despite being jump-1 it can only readily dock and refuel at starports A and B with orbital facilities and requiring the ship's boat to ferry fuel up in every other case.

The illustration in the book is however of a bullet-shaped vessel that certainly looks streamlined - while the deckplan includes an ATV bay that opens outwards into what would be empty space rather than internally marrying up with the ship's boat cargo bay and as the ship's boat now only has an 11 ton cargo bay and an ATV takes up 10 it seems less than practical to ferry the ATV around in the ship's boat cargo bay anyway.

I also see several very significant changes in the yacht's specification: 1 The edition 1 yacht had 44 tons fuel allowing it to make two jump-1s without refuelling whereas 2nd edition yacht has only 21 tons and is thus of hugely less use as a player ship. So why would your typical noble limit himself to a jump-1 ship that can only access a minority of worlds and is also unable to actually land on any of the worlds it does visit? I know this is nitpicking at details but by its very nature Traveller is a game where these sort of details are vitally important.
