I think you are mistaken if you are talking about Classic Traveller. From Book 1 Saving Throw (also called Throw): That dice roll required to achieve a stated effect. If only a number is stated, it must be rolled exactly. A number followed by a plus (such as 8+) indicates that the number or...

That is the actual name of the ship. It is so cheaply designed it has a messed-up blueprint name. The description This design apparently originated from the Solomani Rim, its blueprints containing a short text describing it as ‘an attempt to make starfaring more accessible to the common...

I think that depends on the circumstances. I like it being an internal mechanic. A Vargr who hides in a closet and ends up being the sole survivor that is hailed as a hero may not have a Charisma bump because they know the truth. I could even see a Charisma drop. A Vargr that manipulated...

I would say one is an upgraded rule. There are often contradictions in the rules over different books. I usually use the later rule. As to which sensor ruleset to use? I would pick the one that fits your game best. As long as you are consistent it won't matter which one you go with.

I plan on backing it, but I do not expect to play it much

“Imperial standards” doesn’t imply every Scout/Courier is physically identical down to the last ton. It implies standardized performance targets and standardized interfaces (docking collars, fuel systems, jump grid tolerances, avionics compatibility, safety certification, etc.). That’s how you...

I thought that is what I had read in the past.

I agree with you, although I really like the thought from Cluster Truck. It fits the trope of the falling apart ship that needs parts and loving care.

Because it is getting a rewrite doesn’t mean it was defective. It’s normal rules evolution over the last 9 years. Rather than scrapping everything and starting over with a new version of the game (cough cough White Wolf), Mongoose is keeping within the same edition and refining the rules. I...

I think there is a good chance the Cluster Truck mechanics and High Guard are going to remain separate entities.

Pretty sure by RAW all armor is both. The description of archaic armor says all damage from higher TL ranged weapons is halved. This would include Energy and physical. I do not do it. I don't think it is out of line, to either give energy weapons a rating of AP or another bonus against regular...

Your opinion is that it is broken. I have no issue with it.

He was asking for feedback to find bugs at one point, but the info and link is now gone.

Right, I think MT made Dying optional not living though.
