There are a selection of iconic crafts in the core rules to run with but, in this edition, they've decided to contain all the ship design rules collectively in the High Guard book. This means that they are more fully integrated in one place, while I've played in many groups now who are happy to just own a Free Trader or Scout ship or whatever, and never go near designing their own ships from scratch at all. Personally, I see ship designing as advanced rules in actual play. They certainly wouldn't stop you from just playing with the core rules or Starter set alone.For those who argue that previous editions, like Classic Traveller, included rules for starship design in the core miss the point. In the original game, they didn't provide any stats for pre-made iconic spacecraft - so you had to design them in order to get going. That was not very beginner friendly and this Mongoose edition is designed to be beginner friendly.</blockquote>
