Traveller: Spacecraft Construction

Let's build a space ship! Join me on a detailed walkthrough and review of the Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition (MGT2) rules as we construct a 100-ton Scout Ship. By the end, you should have the concepts down so you can begin storming the galaxy in your own custom spacecraft. The construction rules can be found in the 2022-Update Corebook or in High Guard.
