For a thread of the conversation on the same topic I had in Mastodon you could follow this link, surely you will find the activity and the links very useful.

I'm planning to do it genuinely hard sci-fi, so it will have to deal with rather complicated things like those 5.4 Sv of surface radiation (see Colonization of Europa - Environment).

As for the player characters I'm planning to have a crew of scientists and, probably, some military types.

Yes, the sub will need to be very strong and prepared to deal with depths of 100 km Europa - Subsurface ocean.

I’m studying some ideas for a future hard sci-fi adventure using Mongoose Traveller 2ed and Orbital 2100, with player characters landing in Europa (Jupiter’s moon) to study the chance of life in the ocean under the moon’s icy shell.

I’m thinking about giving them some kind of submarine vessels, like a bathyscaphe or armoured diving suits, and probably a mobile base. Have any of you thought about how to design a vehicle that can be at the same time a dropship and a terrestrial base/vehicle to travel over the surface of Europa and transport the bathyscaphe to a chosen site?

A poor game session could be the result of many things (not necessarily related to the game), like the mood of the referee or the players at the moment of playing or if the referee have had enough time to do a proper preparation.
