New Traveller Ship Builder

[RossWinn]

There is a new Ship Builder in Traveller Tools at https://traveller-ship-builder.netlify.app/

There are some issues, but it's a great start.

Hi Ross, I received an error message as soon as I landed on the next page after selecting the ship-builder option.

Look on the Mongoose site under Traveller tools.

Thanks Ross, that's an interesting page. The weapon allocation follows their design process (obviously) but I'm not sure it has a very intuitive flow to it.

Hey can't set TL it defaults to TL8 and won't let you change it, Computer selection is locked to Model 5, also can't change from Single Turrets to other types.

can't find other issues since TL is locked

After trying it myself...

Hey can't set TL it defaults to TL8 and won't let you change it,

Try it manually instead than with the arrows

can't change from Single Turrets to other types.

Once you assigned a weapon, assign it again and it will become double, and again and it will be triple

1. Tab 2, the Jump drive size calculation is incorrect. Jump 2 is 5% of hull: 400*.05=20 Cost is MCr1.5 per ton 20*1.5=30.
2. Tab 5 shows the correct tonnage (20) and cost (2MCr) but no option for Holographic Controls (Pg. 186 of Core Manual), yet the power for holographic controls (2) has been allocated.
3.Tab 8 does not show the 1 power that each triple turret is suppose to be allocated in the total. (Pg. 184 of Core Manual)

The bottom label on Tab 2 should be a constant and the Total Cost and Volume Used numbers gave no indication how they were calculated. IMHO

Ad Astra

I don't really understand the Module Builder. I don't have and I have not read the Mongoose supplement for building a ship with modules.

So is there a primer or something? Because it looks like all the same steps for building a starship. So I don't see (in the builder) a differentiation.


A is it module supposed to be standard size? It would suggest that modules (like cargo containers) would be of standard size to fit standard mounts.

Is this building a modular ship completely? Are you building modules to swap in and out at star port? I get the importance and usage, but I don't understand what the builder is creating.

There are a lot of things about larger ship design that don't make sense to me. It's pretty much why I don't use them.
