5150 Known Space

[emanon]

Maybe it is just me but on page 14 some of the secondary races do not have the modifiers beside them. Do they default to the ones above them? I ask because some have it written in, such as, Quar: no modifiers. But some of the others are just left blank, Smoggers are blank, for instance. I apologize if I'm misreading or missing something. But could someone please clarify this for me? Thanks in advance

[emanon]

Maybe if I put more explanation into the question it will be answered: In the Modify the results by culture and faction [pg. 14] of known space
Secondary Races
• Scrunts: +1 LAW
• Drantak:
• Spugs:
• Zenos:
• Lycaons: -1 LAW and -1 POP
• Hydrissians:
• Quar: No modifiers
• Cephalods:
• Smoggers:
• Mongrats:
• Lorts:
• Wormic:
• Saurians: +1 LAW and -1 POP

What are the modifiers if any for the blank ones "??" = Example "Smoggers" I don't see anything there so does that mean No Modifiers like the Quar? And how about the others that are left blank. Thanks in advance

I understood. I had glossed over that table, figuring that a blank meant "No modifiers" except that it's explicit for the Quar only. We're all into the Thanksgiving holiday, so your answer might take a little more time.

I believe the No Modifier is a carry over and should have been blank. John may have more detail.

Happy Thanksgiving, my apologies I'm just excited to see the new material but cannot use it fully until this is answered. I'll patiently wait to hear from John's more detailed answer. And thank you Ed I'll go ahead with your answer until then. Trying out the new material this weekend and I'm super pleased with it all

Sounds good.

Hi,
Yeah, had left those blank for no mods, but in looking over the racial descriptions you can add some planet mods. Try this list:

Secondary Races
• Scrunts: +1 LAW
• Drantak: No modifiers
• Spugs: +1 LAW and +1POP
• Lycaons: -1 LAW and -1 POP
• Hydrissians: +1 LAW and -1POP
• Quar: No modifiers
• Cephalods: No Modifiers
• Smoggers: -1LAW
• Mongrats: -1LAW and +1POP
• Lorts:-1POP
• Wormic: +1LAW
• Saurians: +1 LAW and -1 POP

Cheers,
John

Thank you very much for the updated list. That will work perfectly

John, Can you send me an updated PDF so I can send it off to the printers.

[easyeight]

OK, will do.

I have a question about Known Space as well. On page 49, it states that cargo space can be filled with supply, cargo, or passengers. However, I did not see any explanation of what "supply" is. Is this for the ship (maintenance parts) or is it space set aside for the various loot and equipment that my star and his team own?

[easyeight]

Ah, you can ignore that. In playtesting phase there was Cargo, Passengers and Supply units. You used Supply units as you flew around. This turned out to be a redundant game mechanic that was eliminated by the decreasing d6 rules. Your Star and crew are considered to have enough space on their ship for personal stuff.

[jegoodrich]

Thanks for the answer.
