Power Projection: Fleet was an attempt to Traveller-ise Full Thrust if that is of interest. It has rules for importing Classic Traveller ships, but not Mongoose-designs.

HG Fleet Combat is unfortunately FUBAR. I can't imagine it was playtested very rigorously based on what we find in the published book.

Good point - I worded my post carelessly. The "lifters" in TNE were part of an ecosystem that differed from the rest of Traveller canon in that Man drives and thruster plates no longer existed. TNE contragravity negated almost all gravity, but did not provide any thrust. You needed to fit a...

In TNE though they were replacing entirely Man Drives and Thruster Plates. Frank Chadwick's mantra during development of TNE was "no more reactionless drives!" (of course, there was an outcry, and they snuck back in as an 'alternate technology' in FF&S).

And, of course, in GDW's Traveller-derivative boardgame Dark Nebula the Terran and Aslan starships are initially limited to only jumping along marked jump routes (as they are in the boardgame Imperium), but a "tech advance" achieved during the game allows them to jump in any direction and to...

LBB9 has this to say about the Atlantic class heavy cruiser:

CT/LBB 9 Fighting Ships has this to say about Naval Depots, giving some insight into how naval procurement works:

I definitely agree with the second point. Please post a citation or two for the second point. If, indeed, GDW said this many times, I'm sure one or two won't be hard for you to reference.

Hmm, except this apocalyptic scenario of desolation isn't what generally happens in the boardgame of that action produced by GDW (Invasion: Earth). The Imperial player usually takes Luna to use as a forward base, then deals with Terra's SDB squadrons (or at least suppresses them by causing them...

I wonder if that is really the case - a cursory glance at a map of the Imperium from 1105 suggests actually the vast bulk of the empire is relatively close to potential neighbouring threats. Be they Aslan, Vargr, Zhodani, or Solomani. Even the core sectors are potentially vulnerable to a...
