Online web maker and generator systems

Charts, charts and more charts is what you get for Traveller 5th-edition, but of course some people program and computerize the generation and "maker" systems of the game.&nbsp; Watch for slight differences and problems as the errata are discussed.&nbsp; This German dude has generators for sectors, individual home-worlds, beasts, guns, an on-page dice-roller for all the kinds of Traveller 5 rolls, and more.&nbsp; If you're designing a game, use it! <a href="http://heldenhaufen.de/T5/" rel="nofollow">http://heldenhaufen.de/T5/</a> &nbsp; &nbsp;

Yup ... took a look at that ..... If you are a member of Citizens of the Imperium (CotI) there is a very useful T5 links page posted by 'Robject' here --&gt; <a href="http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/showthread.php?t=30549" rel="nofollow">http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/showthread.php?t=30549</a>

Shit yeah!

Sector maker is awesome.

TRAVELLER 5th-edition online web utilities have improved! Sector Maker has been improved to allow you to save a randomly generated sector's info as a .csv file, edit it in a spreadsheet program to change the&nbsp;planet&nbsp;names or the Universal World Profile (UWP) codes, and you can load it BACK into Sector Maker to show revised sector and sub-sector maps!&nbsp; Load data into Traveller Maps to get different map styles.&nbsp; The mainworld lists below the maps are now CLICKABLE to get the orbits of stars, planets and moons!&nbsp; A vast improvement!&nbsp; Also small bugs have been fixed. <a href="http://heldenhaufen.de/T5/" rel="nofollow">http://heldenhaufen.de/T5/</a> &nbsp; There are also great utilities at a site the first site links to: <a href="http://eaglestone.pocketempires.com/" rel="nofollow">http://eaglestone.pocketempires.com/</a> I made a photo&nbsp;album of screenshots from both these sites.&nbsp; Cool!&nbsp; Time-saving for referees!&nbsp; Click each photo for close-ups. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151826432425733.1073741835.716205732&amp;type=1&amp;l=f2795083a8" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151826432425733.1073741835.716205732&amp;type=1&amp;l=f2795083a8</a>

One thing to be aware of is that while Rob's ship builder works some of its data seems to be out of date. As an example when I was working on the stats for a T5 scout I discovered that it was listing the computer as 1 1/2 tons instead of a single ton. It also was not correctly calculating cost when I was designing sensors so you would have to manually update those to the correct amounts.

Okami, I think the volume of&nbsp;components&nbsp;will vary with Tech level in T5 and whether it's a Prototype, Basic, Advanced Stage component&nbsp;etc.&nbsp; Cost also varies accordingly.&nbsp; Is that what it is doing?&nbsp; The errata&nbsp;file says use the table on p. 500 for the way cost will vary with the Stage of the component.&nbsp; I am not sure if Rob applied that errata statement or not.

Yeah. It varies according to the staging but the base size should be 1 ton before staging effects and he has it as 1.5 tons before staging. I also noticed that when I was working on sensors after I had done mount and staging the price was not correct. I didn't notice what it was that wasn't calculating correctly. I just noticed it was wrong.

You can politely mention your observations on Citizens of the Galaxy (travellerrpg.com).&nbsp; In the Traveller 5 sections, one of the "sticky" threads is Robject's thread (Rob Eaglestone), the maker of the apps online. <a href="http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/showthread.php?t=30549" rel="nofollow">http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/showthread.php?t=30549</a> I'm pleased with the SectorMaker from the other guy, the German guy Thalassogen.&nbsp; It finally allows me to get a sector done, I just have to stick in appropriate mainworld names.&nbsp; It will take a while to do everything but I'll just concentrate on the "home" subsectors for my game.&nbsp; But when saving the .csv file back from the spreadsheet, you have to watch the formatting.

If you are interested in a sector generator, I have a friend that has developed a stand alone program to create sectors. He has used it to create the Mikhail Sector on the web based Traveller Map. <a href="http://www.travellermap.com/?x=98.209&amp;y=-172.31&amp;scale=3.364&amp;options=887&amp;style=poster" rel="nofollow">http://www.travellermap.com/?x=98.209&amp;y=-172.31&amp;scale=3.364&amp;options=887&amp;style=poster</a> -- MHW

I've mentioned it to Rob, so he's aware of the problems. He just hasn't had time to go through all the data. I suspect that he might be using data from the beta. I don't want to sound like I'm saying don't use the program. It is still useful for getting the ship 'roughed out'. I'm just providing a caveat that it may not be completely accurate.
