i have some questions about weapons in rt

first one does a las gauntlet can be overcharged like some las weapons in dh?

the question of suply: how rogue trader can be away years even more than ten years without a ready source of suply? it s not like if they can make a trip to scintilla now and then?

so does las weapons are more common because they need less resupply?

does mono weapons are less comon than in dh for the same reasons of no eassy acces to ressuply?

more question latter i just begun reading the book.

My first word of advice is to forget Dark Heresy until you've finished reading Rogue Trader. While the core mechanics (and most of the talents) are the same, there appears to be just enough differences to throw people off. (at least, according to what I keep reading on this forum, as well as my minimal experiance with Dark Heresy). To answer your specific questions:

I can't really answer the first one until I can get my book infront of me, but as for those following it. Rogue Traders to have resupply, the average ship is only outfited for six months of travel, though they might be able to push a couple years hopping from one primitive world to the next for food and materials. That not withstanding, its neather unreasonable nor uncommon for a Rogue Trader to be back in a civilized port fairly often to refill the ships stores of equipment. As another note, these ships are huge, between 1 and 5 km long, even without impacting the living or cargo space there is a lot of supply room to work with. A ship might carry thousands of bolt rounds or ten-thousand liter tanks of promethium by which to reload a Rogue Trader's weapons. Even if they are on an epic 5 year mission (to boldy go where no man as gone before), its well within the Rogue Trader's means to hire a freighter to resupply them part way threw, so long as they can arange a meeting.

Acquasitions, which are made when you are in a port that can provide what your looking for, is where you get new equipment like a new Monosword or Lasgun. Both of which are very easy checks to make, even if you want ten or twenty of them, and aquiring them covers all reasonable resupply expenses, such as ammo, minor repairs and maintinance, etc.

another question in rt the powepack weight 25 in dh ascension it weight 15. is it a typo or is normal the one use by the rogue trader are more bulky?

Check the Errata, otherwise it is what it is supposed to be. Again, this isn't DH, even if they are compatable, everything's not going to be the same.

Thing to remember:

1)There are sources of resupply in the expanse. Footfall comes to mind. As does the hive world in adventure in the GM's guide. Lure of the Expanse provides a couple more planets that a RT could resupply at. Many of these are human planets with technology based on the same STs (Standard Templates) that the Imperium uses. One of the 1st things a RT should be looking at doing is finding a place to repair and refit in the expanse.

2)Remember that time in the warp is generally runs slower. A couple of weeks trip in the warp could easily be a couples of month in the material world.

3)RTs and Tech priest fleets have ships that are able to resupply most of their needs if they have access to raw materials. These are the guys who dissappear for decades. That said even a single ships has work shops able to produce various spare parts, and some types of ammo. Now you might need to horde things like bolt rounds, melta ammo, and the like, but a bullet isn't that hard to make.....
