Put some glyphosate tipped warheads on your missiles and watch that armor wilt and die. The other guy is screwed unless he opted for the very pricey Roundup ready upgrade.

Oh man the possibilities in real life as well as gaming. Imagine a high tl garden word that has a booming chemical industry in addition to its agriculture. A biotech firm's dream (just look at Monsanto). Plants that support other plants: Who needs insects to pollinate anything? Who needs to...

There is another typo in the retail release of the Traveller_Core_Rulebook_ebook.pdf. In the bookmarks list we have The Sindal Subsector - Sindal - The Trojan Reach Map, Chartered Space Map and The Milky Way Map. It should be "Charted", not "Chartered".

I believe Longevity is referring to many years of worry free service, provided you follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Subjecting it to hostile environments, hyper velocity munitions or just plain beating the hell out of it will void the warranty and will greatly reduce your...

Multiply the armor value by the number of missiles and deduct that from the damage value.

I would keep the vehicle weapons and the turret skills separate. The weapons themselves may be the same/similar but the environments in which they are employed are different. I would however grant a bonus to learning the other skill during gameplay (vehicle weapons -> turrets / turrets ->...

Tom, I can see Solomani Pirates flying the Jolly Roger, but what of the myriad of other races that make up the Imperium? I'd bet they each have their own term/symbol for a pirate/privateer. To some species the JR may not make sense, let alone instill them with fear. This symbol could be the...

The skull in the Jolly Roger is too slanted towards humanity, whereas this more generic one is actually more befitting a stellar pirate. Human, Vargr, Aslan...pretty much everyone is prey. Maybe the ships name should be put on the hull in comic sans :lol:

That makes sense, though better labeling of the file would have saved me some anguish and some embarrassment. Deldarius

Now that is some constructive input Shawn, thank you. That makes sense, a 1st ed vs 2ed issue. Good catch. I had mistaken the oddly re released 1st ed: Traveller Main Rulebook travrulebooknewdt.pdf Mongoose 2015-12-11 02:24:17 as an update to: NEWTRAV_UPDATE_4_DEC.pdf Mongoose...

Deldarius When you read the books. You'll see that they are two different RPGs. Two different RPG's? WTF??? Shawn, all I am inquiring about is clarification on whether these changes are legit and the reasons why OR are they an editing issue. If I wish to invoke Rule Zero IMTU that is my...

I realize I have the choice of versions to play with...ultimately Dm's fiat is law. I am just rather confused about the change. I am interested as to why the change was made and how the decision was reached to make said changes this late in the play test. These changes just occurred overnight...

1. The December 10th update has Gun Combat with three specialties: Archaic, Energy and Slug. Now the Dec 11th update has unbundled the specialties to: Slug Rifle, Slug Pistol, Shotgun, Energy Rifle and Energy Pistol. Archaic has been removed. I thought the three specialties was to reduce...
