May 29, 2016 Mongoose Traveller, 2nd edition It's been out for a while now. The pdf has been one of the 'hottest titles' on DTRPG for some time. But I haven't really seen a lot of forum chatter about it, and what I have seen has been pretty mixed. A few grumbles on CotI; not much that I've seen elsewhere. According to the information available on the Mongoose Traveller boards, large parts have been re - written so as to make the first edition redundant. If you bought the first edition you now have to buy this second edition as a separate product.

In case anyone has missed it, Mongoose has finally released the next book for the new 2nd Edition of Traveller, High Guard, via DTRPG. It includes all the rules for creating ships from 10t fighters to 500,000t (or bigger!) Dreadnaughts. It even includes rules for Space Stations in case you wanted to design your own Death Star.
Here is a quick rundown of what is in the book (aka Table of Contents):
That last section has details and deck plans for 7 small craft (under 100t), 21 'Adventure Class' ships (100-999t), 6 'Big' ships (1000-20,000t), and 12 Capital ships going all the way to 500,000t! For those of you who are having a hard time with basic math that is a total of 46 ships, with deck plans.

The bad news is that all 1e ship designs are technically 'invalid' now, but after some checking it seems that for the most part you can use the 1e designs, you just need to use 'Hull Points' instead of 'Hull' and 'Structure', which is easy.
Of course there are all kinds of new things you can add to your custom ships as well ranging from weapons to shields to biodomes. There are also several changes to 'canon' stuff that have many people in an uproar, and the book does still have some errors, typos, and mistakes, but overall my first impression that it's a solid book, just needs some 'cleanup'.
