I am somewhat confused as to how to calculate capital ship scale damage by spinal weapons when a ship is protected by a flickering black globe. It is clear that as per HG, p. 52, if a ship is struck by a spinal weapon when a globe is fully active, the screen absorbs the spinal damage multiplied...

Would it therefore be permissible, for instance, for a TL15 capital ship to have two Level 6 power plants and simultaneously operate up to 12 meson screens and dampers and 6 globe generators (one set for each power plant)?

After reading the core and High Guard, I was unable to ascertain the answers to a few questions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 1. In CT, sick bays were installed in ships. Are they no longer required in MGT, or are they possibly included in the stateroom misc. cost and space...

Excellent analysis. Unfortunately, absent an errata or other response by the powers that be, the answer is as elusive as before.

After reading High Guard, I am confused as to thee number of screens that a ship may have active at any given time. On HG, p. 50, it states that a ship may only have power plant / 2 screens active (presumably with a maximum of 3 with a level 6 power plant). However, on HG, p. 65, its indicates...

I was an old fan of the original Traveller and its later incarnations, and just recently picked up MGT and High Guard. The older systems referenced and often provided stats for various TL 16+ ship technology such as disintegrators, antimatter missiles, jump projectors, coherent superdense...
