II made a cheeky promo film using all the scenes that inspired the game; its also on the web-page. Follow the link.

I read the PDF; very cool! I like what you've started! And it could be sandwiched into the OTU timeline without too big a shoehorn, representing the Solomani pre-Vilani contact. We need more, keep it coming!

The movie looks cool, but the .pdf doesn't want to download. If you're looking for a good hard SF thruster for your ships, I think someone posted this on the board a while ago:

I like the movie montage - it's better than a lot of the movies the clips were taken from

As for the pdf - no probs downloading and it is great.

Nice work!

I did catch a few oddities though: The text for Umbriel is the same as that for Rhea, and Titan has a stated pop of 820,000 - at odds with it's pop code of 4.

Wonderful, thanks for the pointers, its one of the reasons I wanted to share sooner rather than later. Lots more to do to it. I have my notes for Rhea somewhere:

Rhea E101338-B Vacuum, Lo Pop, Ice Cap

Established by Haruna Biolabs as an agricultural station to feed the populations of the Saturnian system. The crews going out there were genetically screened and modified to prevent illnesses and produce defences against low level radiation. Rhea has proved profitable in the past 15 years, the colony has thrived and the population increased, with the rigorous genetic screening and modification continuing. The colony is semi-independant, its inhabitants and newcomers are shareholders. Rheans have a superior attitude, looking down on the unwashed mass of genetic flotsam on other worlds, with Earth being the great Babylon. Contact with outsiders is limited, the colony is closeted and insular. I have visions of the movie, 'The Island'.

Nice work!

Wierd. I can't seem to get this .pdf Whenever I try to download it I get a whole page full of:

%PDF-1.3 %Çì�¢ 5 0 obj <> stream xœµUMo1 ß4Eåûž™JlÇNœ+!UphY‰åTÑ"Ô-j9ð÷qfvv§*BU%v¥Ù7q’ç<;oÏ=D$í;�£¥{}PüÉ/7 ûƒ÷+pqâÎ�ÆÔ>ÃÀ-ý›…-

I can download other .pdf files just fine.

Any ideas?

 

[Spinward Scout]

Finally got it.

Really nice stuff. You might want to look at the old SPI game "Battlefleet Mars" for some ideas as well. They had a really nice catapult ship system for bulk transfers of resources and a really nice solar system map.

 

[Geage]

This is a really good Idea finally enables me to play some Isaac Asimov like near future missions.

 

[Mithras]

Please. Any feedback on the design rules appreciated!!

That's the source text of the PDF; next time you encounter that, just let it load, then save as, and then open with Acrobat.

 

[Tellon]

I thought the concept was pretty cool -- using religious and economic tensions with shifting alliances ...

I will have to look at the doc more to see what needs tweaking.

Ok, cool.

Thanks

Dear lord, I love this. It's utterly ⌧ing brilliant. Of course, I'm using it with a custom FTL method. (well, planning to anyways. As soon as I can convince my family to let me Ref a Traveller game)

 

[Mithras]

Cool !

 

[Peter Schutze]

Gimme a couple more nights to finish them and you'll be able to grab traveller isocohedral maps for most of the solar system Im doing for our 2300AD game

http://schutzegreatgame.wiki-site.com/index.php/SOL

each hex is roughly 1000km side to side

and people say we dont get anything out of the space program:rofl:

 

[Mithras]

Fantastic, I managed to find large rectangular maps like that, without hexes, but of course a map like that is all stretched and wrong. I love the 2300AD hex-map always have. Fantastic job!

I've downloaded everything so far..

 

[Peter Schutze]

>I love the 2300AD hex-map always have

It's actually the hex grid from an IISS form template I'm pasting over the reformatted maps.

I'm currently looking over the PDF. It is made according to MGT, but are the planetary codes essentially the same as in CT, or do they mean very different things in MGT? So far this looks wicked cool.
