I’m planning to run some Traveller online, either on the Role or Foundry VTTs.
Something I have noticed is that in between printings of the core rulebook, the Hull ratings for common starships have been removed. During playtest (all that time ago!), I asked for Hull Points to be added with the common starship stats in the core rulebook so that starship combat could take place without the need for High Guard.
Now, they’ve gone again.

Different paint job too!
I have High Guard, so it is no loss to me, but seems strange to remove them.

Anyway back to thinking about North Star…
