I'm trying to understand the rule behind this division. Which sealed suits protects from vacuum? In this general description it is only mentioned in civil suits but I'm sure it would be stupid if unpowered combat armour or battledress didn't protect from vacuum. Hence my question if sealed suit...

What about boarding shield/expandable shield and protection? It can not be used for parrying but it grants +8 protection right? So when in melee anyone who attacks wielder of boarding shield must overcome additional +8 protection or it doesn't work in melee combat? And if someone is shooting at...

Field Catalogue contains a lot of optional rules for fighting (recoil, quickdraw, penetration, concepts and special circumstances). There are also rules to create your own guns. Central Supply Catalogue is a catalogue of a lot of goodies (weapons, armours, augments, computers, medicals etc).

Year has past and I have another question about armours :) I try to understand why laser guns are superior to slug throwers in the Traveller setting. It is banned so early on the law level table but they don't give huge advantage IMO to justify this. I propably missing something. Does armour...

Help me out, please. According to Traveller Companion: Physical actions: For every 0.25g difference between the gravity a Traveller is used to and the gravity they experience, DM-1 is imposed on all physical actions. Assume a ‘home’ gravity of 1g for most people living and working in space, as...

I have read all topics about this campaign and wiki and some other sites but didn't find an answer. Can someone tell me what the is? It is mentioned four or five times but there is no explanation what they do or what it is. Knowing my players they will ask for it and I wouldn't blame them as...

Fixed mounts have no additional cost and consume no extra Spaces (beyond the weapons they are mounting). So if you have free "spaces" for weapons you can add it to your vehicle. Of cours I would check if mounting a weapon on a particular part of a vehicle makes sense even if you have spare...

I agree that it can be a surprise round so an enemy would have a free round of shooting. (if sensors check fails and enemy come to his weapons range) Great ideas about shooting from fixed weapons when performing another action. I forgot you can use multiple actions during combat.

I need some advice on... vehicle combat. Situation Traveller's vehicle has two fire arcs. Front and rear. Enemy has only front fire arc. Fight starts when enemy is on the right side of traveller's vehicle. Initiative is traveller 1 - front gunner enemy - pilot/gunner in his fighter plane...
