At todays technology level, would it be possible to create an anti missile missile. I know we have stuff like CIWS, but i mean a proper missile.

Which is the trouble with threads like this, taken in isolation and out of the context of what appears to be a hybrid system that only you (and your players?) have access to, it's really hard to actually comment on your ideas.

Re: [House Rule] armour adjustments by dton range
Or you could go back to FF&S's way and choose a thickness of armour then calculate it's volume. Your idea is simpler and there's a fair bit of simplification in FF&S's way of calculating surface area and volumes as the shape of the hull changes but FF&S's way offers a consistent between vehicles/sm...

Re: [House Rule] armour adjustments by dton range
The armour factor just goes up, or down. It would make no sense to pay more for the exact same volume of armour material.phavoc wrote:Does the dtonnage/cost increase as well, or just the armor factor itself?

Re: [House Rule] armour adjustments by dton range
The picture merely shows the surface area to volume ratio curve of a solid. The general basis for scaling the armor by dton volume.
Sorry for the confusion on that. On the pic, A = surface area. V = volume of the solid.
I changed the picture to better demonstrate

Everyone builds their ships around spinal mounts. You cram the biggest gun you can into the ship and build your ship around it.

[House Rule] armour adjustments by dton range
This rule brings vehicles into the starship armor paradigm. In my game vehicles are <10 dtons to a minimum of 1 dton. Figure armor factor as normal then apply the mod by tonnage. Hull/chassis size less than 10 dtons (min. 1 dton), multiply armor points by 0.25 Hull size 10 - 99 dtons, multiply by 0....

Re: Reduced Fuel consumption by Tech Level
Just a question chaps. Forgot the Universal constant, C and all that crap. The real constant in the Traveller universe is that at any tech level from the introduction of Jump Drives right up to maximum Imperial, drives still use the same amount of fuel. "Fuel" is a bit of a misnomer for this in MGT...
