General What can you get in your Ship's Library?

[Spinward Scout]

After talking on a post on Reddit Traveller, I'm wondering what you can get in the Ship's Library:

System Comm Directory

Search Request
- you should be able to customize the Update to look for information you request.

Imperial Encyclopedia service
- previous World Updates (stored from past)
- current World Update
- Star system Update
- Surrounding systems Update

Traveller's Aid Society
- TAS Warnings
- TAS travel guides

Interstellar Astrographic

PlaySophont subscription

What else do you get downloaded to your Ship's Library?

 

[whartung]

WikiGalactiPedia. All of it.

What you're talking about is what kind of stuff do you get when you enter a system. Quick space weather and navigation data updates, while en route to the starport.

When you arrive at the starport, you can sync any of the subscriptions you have. For example, you can see having a Netflix subscription, with lots of DRMd movies downloaded to your ship ready for viewing (and paying for).
