Foreven Worlds Single Ship: Reidian Flyer Blockade Runner (MGT 2e)

After a few DB errors on DTRPG I was able to get a copy. At just a $1 it's quite inexpensive. Here's my review:

Overall the download is 6 pages - 3 dedicated to the ship (1 page for description, one page for the stats, one page for the 3D layout). The other three pages consist of the cover (front and pack) and the title page.

The ships description provides locations for a setting, from where the ship was designed (and why), where it was built and why it was needed. It's nice to see some ship history as part of the description since it provides more of a feel of the how & why it came into being. Something I think most classes benefit from.

Most of the rest of the page goes on to describe the flight characteristics of the ship, and blockade runners in general. One thing I think provides more flavor for (but it isn't covered by the rules) is the inability of the grav plates to handle the increased acceleration of the reaction thrusters. To the best of my knowledge MGT has...See more no upper limit on what grav plates are capable of as far as thrust settings. And there is no benefit being derived from the ship, such as reduced power consumption or cheaper components, to reflect this. And also no real description on why the ship has this fault. I think it would have beneficial to add a little more ship flavor to justify such a thing, such as the ship class is built with lower-quality parts due to parts shortages/decisions and that some captains upgrade the plating to standard as soon as they can (perhaps with a cost?), while others prefer to "feel their ship fly", and don't. Thus there is a reason for people to accept the 7G acceleration (which would really suck for any length of time - especially for people who had no experience with high G maneuvers!). Quirks are fine, but I find it nice to better understand they why and how of the quirk.

The final paragraph talks about the hold and the ships power. Like many ships built to a specific function, it lacks enough power to run all of its systems simultaneously. The author calls out the addition of low berths and how if they are installed the ship has insufficient power for all it's systems. Certainly a critical choice for most captains if they are running to get to the 100D jump limit.

For the price it's a nice add to your collection. Even if you discard the non-ship description pages, it's only $.33/page. You can barely get a cup of coffee these days for that amount. Since it was a PDF I'm not sure why the page count was limited to just six. A second page, to provide more details and description would have been a great addition. Hopefully the next ship will go this route.
