No smaller hull sizes planned at present, but you can build 30-ton and 100-ton designs, which are moderately typical of average mecha.

Is cool ,was hoping for the 2.5 to 3.5 meter range, Along the lines of Shirow's landmates, Votom's and Heavy Gears.

But I'll bet they will be covered else where.

In related question kinda, Intrum ship hull sizes between the current set?

Not at present - that would require numerous pages of tables, as well as having a significant effect on the rules. The tables themselves are regular enough that you can probably figure out how to do this should you wish to, though.

Artwork and layout looks great! My players will be overjoyed that they can begin making their own Defiants, K'Vorts, Vorchas, and Sovereigns! And, I will be overjoyed that I don't have to! Yippee!!!!

Thank you to Mr. Pulver and SJGames!

Is there a schedule for the rest of the books in this series? The New Releases page doesn't say.

Not yet on the schedule, but first drafts of other books have been worked on even as the core book moved through editing, and the series is well under way.

Cool, I like the size of this release, I don't feel guilty about the price, or it is like the old days where 10-20 bucks got me a lot of crunch for my money. GDW's classic Traveller releases were fantastic for that, how I miss those joyful little digest sized books.

Any how's keep up the good work.

Will the additional volumes contain example deckplans, including spacestations? That'd be handy.

I'm afraid not. SJ Games ruled that out. I believe they prefer to sell deck plans separately (and seemingly only for Traveller).

That's too bad, I'm a total sucker for deck plans and other maps :(
