Vehicle design

Any new vehicles designed for this project are going to be made using the SCFI-20/T20 rules, as those are declared to be useable under the OGL. The Mongoose Traveller vehicle design rules, as of this time, are closed source and, in theory, can't be used in an OGL product. I'm not 100% sure about this, but that is the way I'm going, just to be safe.

Due to the difference in how armor is used in t20 vs Mongoose Traveller, there will be some tweaking needed, but other than that, they seem to be about the same.

This has been changed. I have Word of God that you can use the MgT design rules, you just can't publish the design rules as such

2nd option for the LSPS-1802

[caption id="attachment_646" align="alignleft" width="300"] Ling Standard Products Ship 1802 "Far Venture"[/caption]

I think I like this one better than the other option, not the least because I still have the "source code" for the render so I can use it in other scenes.

Possible view of the 'Far Venture' LSPS-1802

Nothing to do with Traveller

Photos of the storm that went about 2 miles south of my house.  "Just" an EF-0, maybe EF-1.  A dozen of so homes damaged, no injuries reported.  This is the ass end of the storm and only sort of showed the funnel cloud by the time I went out side, plus I didn't use my fast lens, so these aren't the best.
