I've put up two jpegs of the module in the Pictures section; one, cargopod.jpg, is is quite large (300 dpi), the other, cargopodweb.jpg is smaller (72 dpi) ......
I'm sure Jeff is going to want to field this, but I'd just like to say this is great! It's non-standard UREF equipment, but in your campaigns you can...

Hi guys: This is something I had my crew encounter in a "Boss fight". The portable Flux Compensator (TM) This device allows whoever wears it to bend time and...
Howdy, all! I just uploaded sketches I did of some aliens for my new campaign (in the Photos section). Tell me what you think... the "group" pic shows them...
... Only the guys with the wide, triangular heads have names right now ("hashah"). I'll put up stats and descriptions for all of them in the next couple of...
I think this makes perfect sense. The UREF has cargo ships that rely on other ships for protection and travel in convoys. Free traders, and small time...
... Yeah Tristan, cargo pods are a nifty idea. I would add that they suffer the fate of adjacent modules and if they are slagged, they are removed (with any...
Just noticed this... pg 93 (freighters): Text gives freighter Hull Rating as Size 5 and Maneuvers and Explosion Force as 10, but under the layout it gives Hull...
This is the kind of unique treasure/device that I like... powerful enough to sway the tide of battle in an emergency, and pull the heroes' respective fats out...

Tristan! Yes, the data for the freighter is wrong. They have a hull rating like a size 5 but maneuver and explode like size 10. This probably isn't the right...
