Sorry. I didn't remember but it's been a while since I've been here.

It means I couldn't be bothered

I'm from Florida (but have traveled the US) so must be from the UK?

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

I just couldn't be arsed with hitting the shift key

what does "arsed" mean? I'm sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night.

What's a "feed"? A T5 system?

Link, or it didn't happen.

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.

But it still passed the Popper falsifiability test, right up to the point where the evidence blew it away.

Nope. Try again.

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...

Without LOTS more details lf an actual planet there is no way of estimating.

Thank you.

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.

Reynard wrote:I've played Mayday. It's not an RPG extension

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.

Newbies don't generally know this about the game.

But, as was posted upstream here, it DOESN'T need to track actual speed, only RELATIVE speed between the two ships. Thus the ship with the higher acceleration can change the relative velocity between the two ships, which will affect how fast the range changes. Acceleration does not directly affect ...

hiro wrote: Does it list in HG or the CRB the actual speeds ships engage at?

That would be meaningless. Only relative speed matters.

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.

How do the repaired systems know when the battle is over? Will they stay repaired if you remain at battle stations?

No. It was just crap. That's why the publisher completely abandoned it.
