The Traveller as crew of the 700-ton Corvette, Private Armed Vessel (PAV) LANCEA, managed to capture a 1,000-ton Magnadon-Class, Provincial Freighter and a 2,500-ton Horizon-Class, Provincial Freighter. Both were claimed as prizes and awarded in the Prize Court on Lunion Prime. The Travellers...

In late 1109, the crew of the LANCEA executed a series of tactical manoeuvres in contested space, commencing with their covert operations at a key Sword World Confederation fuelling point. Their strategic sabotage began with successfully placing limpet mines on fuel ships, causing substantial...

Greetings fellow Travellers, I come to you with a query regarding the intricacies of technology compatibility between cultures in the Traveller universe, specifically concerning the Imperium and the Sword World Confederation (SWC), but it could be expanded to other cultures. For example: 1...

Acknowledge, this rule is confusing as in the book it uses for example: Pilot Skill and Pilot Check (Pilot Skill + DEX). My player will like this; his pilot's Skill 4 + DEX DM +2 = 6. He'll be spinning pirouettes around missile and laser attacks.

I used a range just as an example to keep the distance - time line straight. Only PD turret not barbettes, check.

Thanks

Are you implying that Missiles do not generate Critical Hits?

Here an example for each Version. In Version 1 1) A 700-ton Corvette armed with 2x Missile Barbettes (5 missiles per barbette) has a target lock on a 800-ton Sobjornen Heavy Gunboat at Very Long Range. 2) Corvette launches both barbettes (10 missiles) = 1 Salvo 3) Gunboat detects missile...

Here are two versions for a Multi-Head Warhead (MHW) attack. We (my players and I) are at a bit of an impasse, with both making senses, but the effects of each version very different. Before I make a ruling, I would like to heard from others in the hobby and if Game Designer would like to...

Chris, thanks for the comments. Step 6: I see the Pilot Skill as just the skill without any DM and a Pilot Check as the Skill + with all the DM. Step 5: This interpretation of the order makes sense: Missile close in on ship --> Ship makes PD attacks --> What missile make it through attack...

Okay fellow Travellers, here the situation that came up in our last session involving Multi-Warhead (MW) missiles and Critical Hits. Travellers launch a salvo from two missile barbettes (10 Missile in total) attacking with MW missiles a Sword Worlder 800-ton Heavy Gunboat (Armour 12 and two...

The Crew of LANCEA is off on what may be it last mission, only time will tell. The End.
