Hull Tons vs. Cargo Tons

I’m refereeing a play-by-post group and one of my players made a suggestion that I want to refuse but want the best words why.

They have an Express Packet with 11 tons cargo space. The suggestion is to load a 10-ton advertising boat on board. I see this as trying to fit a billboard into a U-Haul. It won’t work. I’m trying to explain why.

Sending mail

Are there any detailed rules about sending mail? I know there are rules for delivering mail from port to port, but do paper letters exist? Stamps? What might it cost to post a letter?

Android body cyborg

As an experiment, I want to create a sample character who was seriously injured in their career and received an Advanced Android Body (Robot Handbook, p. 239). What’s the best way to create the character? That is, does the natural brain retain all of the skills it learned during creation? Other than skills, do I follow robot character creation rules? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Nigerian Character

I’d like to get some insight on how a character from Nigeria would have grown-up in the 1910s and 1920s. The character is indigenous African.

Is the Fifth Frontier War series worth getting?

Does the series have a lot of new information or is it mostly a rehash of the other Traveller books? Are the adventures interesting? Thoughts? Thanks!

I rolled up a Droyne

I made a Droyne sample character who casted into a Drone. In my second term the oytrip came under attack. Afterwards, the Leaders decided I had failed to protect the young sufficiently and I was outcast.

I spent time in the Imperium recovering before I became a thief. Then I was recruited into Imperial Intelligence. However, I was put in prison for learning a secret I was not supposed to know. I was released on parole after one term.

But seriously? What did they expect hiring a natural telepath? Jeez!

1920’s Conservationist

I want to make a 1920’s character who worked in Africa as an animal conservationist. Does anyone know where I can find any resources that describe the methods and practice of animal conservation in the early 20th Century?

Sophonts in Singularity?

Does Singularity have stats for any new playable sophonts? This is a major factor in my decision to purchase it. Thanks!

Charcoal won’t go in cementation coffin?

I finally completed my cementation furnace but I’m having an issue where charcoal can’t be put into the coffin. I put in coke just fine but charcoal will not go. I’m playing a very heavily modded game (200+ mods). Any thoughts on what might be happening? Thanks!

EDIT: To answer the most common question, no I am not trying to mix charcoal and Coke in the coffin. When I try to put down my first layer, I select charcoal the shift + r click and nothing happens.

The second most common question: The furnace seems to be built correctly. I put Coke and ingots in the coffin and fired. Cementation appears to be proceeding.

Tomb

Found this exploring a cave. I’m saddened there’s no lore or name recorded here. The only things I found in the vessel (other than the decorated vessel itself) were a Jonas sub-assembly and a ruined lantern.

Extreme weather a bit too extreme

I added the interesting-looking Extreme Weather mod last night. It says it gives a challenge and I want to confirm that it does exactly that!

When my world homestead loaded I found a pine tree knocked-over, the glass walls of my greenhouse shattered, and the thatch roof torn off my farm shed! 😅

I don’t think I’m quite ready yet!

Still, it looks like very good work and I would recommend to those who want to add extra work to their existing work!
