So has anyone looked at MGT's new vehicle book vs. T5 vehicle design system? I haven't.

Really? A car ran into a tree across the street from me yesterday. There exists no "link", yet it happened. Your assertion isn't logical.

That "theory" was debunked once Venus' magnetic field strength was measured. No need to put quotes around the word "theory" above. It was a full scientific theory. Until evidence to the contrary turned up and forced the astronomers to go back to the drawing board. You know how science works, Sid. A...

Necessary to know that such a combat system was designed for use WITH the Trav RPG. I won't leave misinformation about the topic uncorrected.hiro wrote:Can we please bring it back to the topic and not a history of gaming?

Mayday was designed to be standalone & an RPG extension. It was intended as Game 1 for the Trav RPG (CT) and used a variant of the Trav ship rules.Reynard wrote:I've played Mayday. It's not an RPG extension

How do the repaired systems know when the battle is over? Will they stay repaired if you remain at battle stations?These are battlefield repairs only and will break down as soon as the battle is over unless repaired properly using the rules on page 143.
