Generation Ship

[aramis]

Hey there,

thank you very much for the quick responses.

Just for clarifications: Which FF&S do you mean -

This one: Fire, Fusion & Steel v2

Or this one: T4 Fire, Fusion and Steel Revised

About 15 years back I owned the "Fire, Fusion & Steel" supplement for TNE, and I loved it so much. But 'cause none of my friends was interested in playing SF-rpgs, I split from the items and sold them after a while. And I remember it being a hard decision even selling FF&S, because I used it to create spaceships for a Star Wars group in the mid-nineties for a short period of time. Am glad to see that this supplement still exists in the traveller-verses.

All the best!
Liam

T4 - almost no one calls the Mk1Mod1 TNE rulebook "v2" -except maybe Marc.

Metamorphosis Alpha

Nice to know that Jim Ward got control of that and not Wizards. I should try to dig out my original copy and see what has changed. That was also the basis for Gamma World.

Jim even has his own forum for MA, located here:http://www.metamorphosisalpha.net/phpBBv3/index.php


Since that is MA-specific, that shouldn't trip any mods' "threatening CotI's membership numbers" buttons.

Ever read O'Donell's Myflies?

In this book the ship is (or becomes) basically a generation one, and (IIRC, there's some time since I read it) it takes hydrogen from the so-called vaccum (as few as there can be) as fuel. IDK if this would be possible, but the reading is entertaining.

That's very interesting and comes very close to what I intent to do ... A ship 'becoming' a generation ship and thus changing its purpose way after the original mission was started ...

Sadly, though, I do not find anything about "O'Donell" or "Myflies". Do you have an ISBN or some more data on this booktitle?

:rofl:
Thank you. I will get it and use it then.

This metamorphosisalpha-thing is very interesting; gonna look into this as well.

All the best!

The book's title is "Mayflies", referring to the short lives of the human passengers.

The book can be found here

It really is worth a read.

woops...

Sorry for the typo (after all I had to look for the original name, as I readed it in Spanish, where its title is Efímeras).

Hope you enjoy the reading.
