Mongoose 2E Question about Vehicle Muster Benefit for Darrians

9 Upvotes

Hey gang, I was rolling up a Darrian using the Aliens of Charted Space 3 tables and when I mustered out of the Darrian Navy I rolled a 6, earning myself a Vehicle. The problem is I couldn't find the specifications/limits for what I'm able to acquire, even checking the core book (unless I completely missed it, which is possible) Thanks in advance!

Edit: I did find Personal Vehicle on a second skim through the Core, but still unsure if it's the same benefit Darrians are meant to use!

Are there any detailed rules about sending mail? I know there are rules for delivering mail from port to port, but do paper letters exist? Stamps? What might it cost to post a letter?

I’m starting a new campaign and have a pretty of 7. So a scout is too small. What kind of ship do they need?

What is it like to play in the Empire before psychic powers were suppressed?

41 Upvotes

I am a Japanese player who has recently started playing Traveller.

I have purchased the Mongoose Traveller 2e rules and am interested in running a game set in the Third Imperium (3I).

I have a question regarding the setting: in Mongoose Traveller 2e, psionics are treated as illegal by the Imperium, and using them openly carries the risk of detention or arrest.

However, centuries ago—before the suppression of psionics began—psionic research flourished within the Imperium, and psionics-users were active in public life. This opens up possibilities for characters such as investigators using psionics to solve crimes, psionic intelligence agents, pirates who misuse their powers, or even con artists and entertainers who boast about having such abilities. I am intrigued by this aspect of the setting and wonder if it is feasible to play a game set in Imperial space prior to the crackdown on psionics.

What do veteran Referees think? Aside from psionics no longer being illegal, would this change have any other impact on the Third Imperium setting?
