Ship Book:Type A Free Trader

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Type A free trader is a common classification for a myriad of similar specification vessels in use throughout the vast Third Imperium. This publication details probably the most common class of the Free Trader, the ubiquitous Beowulf class and two variants, the A-P and A-J2.

It is neither a primer on the upkeep of the Beowulf Type A free trader nor a detailed tutorial on how to engage in trade using it.

Contains:

  • A Description and guided tour of each vessel.
  • Full colour profiles of several ships currently in service.
  • A sample crew along with complete character information and backgrounds.
  • Complete deck plans, specifications and ship data for the Type A and the two Variants.
  • A3 size deck plans of each ship are included as separate files. (25mm Scale) Play Sheets for each version.

This book is for the Mongoose edition of Traveller and set in the Third Imperium, although it could fit in just about any other setting.

Everybody thinks about fuel storage space. Never storage space given toward consumables and water. How much space is required to provide drinking, possibly showering during a one-week jump. Also, think about flushing the body waste (it happens)

Odd, the quick preview works but not the other. Could just be a site glitch, I'll keep an eye on it.

The group I play with recently decided start a Traveller campaign using Mongoose 2nd Edition. Will a 2nd Edition version of this product be made at some point?

3 deck plans, classic maps. I have the Starship book from the Classic Traveller, which can compliment this a lot, and has another deck plan. A lot of work went into this. Would loved to have seen classic Traveller stats in it as a nod to the original game and High Guard stats from the original game. Clean and simple. A lot of work for the price. Will immediately apply it to the deck plans and game play underway as optional deck plans. Now I see what quality of work comes out from the group I am looking forward to more work coming out.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
