Ever consider that battledress is useful for in ship fighting where you likely don't encounter many tanks? And I refuse to get dragged into a terrorist vs israeli soldier debate as such is likely too politically charged to be anything but flamebait and get some bannings issues. If I wanted to...

Well, we're getting a little OT here but I have to point out that hezbollah only exists because too much of the western world would be down on israel for annihilating them, which it could if the west wasn't too sensitive to allow it too. Back on topic, should a suit of standard battledress in...

Heh heh, if you want to see a sensible military you have to focus on Israel, probably the most professional and competent military on earth today. I think I have GTGF, will look it up. Wasn't there one GT book that grossly, and I mean GROSSLY over armored battledress?

Before anyone gets antsy about me necroing a dead thread, I did a bing search for traveller batteldress and found this thread. I do just so happen to have a few comments on traveller battledress and a comment re what I saw on this thread. First off, should battledress be immune to all 'small...

OK, in the real world I think that "atlas shrugged" is a load of elitist BS that has no relevance outside the daydreams of selfish sociopaths with a superiority complex the size of a small galaxy. In the twisted nightmare world of judge dredd, however, atlas shrugged might work. For a dredd...

I still cannot believe this is the second judge dredd movie AND NO JUDGE DEATH!!!!! Sheesh, judge dredd movies without judge death are like batman movies without the joker...

Along a similar vein, my favorite scene in this part was when the north korean diplomat claimed the unknown ships were designed and built by the dear leader.

There's a little movie called "Iron Sky" that, near the end, has some near future earth ships from various nations attacking an enemy too weird to explain just now. (Seriously, go look up the movie here: http://www.ironsky.net/site/ ) Anyway, the ships externally look like 2300 ships and might...

BTW, thanks for the info and links to 1248, I'd missed that one and appreciate the info on it.

You know, when the late, great Isaac Asimov started writing stories about robots, he was sick and tired of the old meme of the robot turning on it's creator and or all humanity and becoming yet another frankenstein monster. So he created the 3 laws of robotics to offset this and end the tired...

I didn't make this, I found it years and years ago, I occasionally share it when the topic of ship blueprints comes up.

I wouldn't be interested in it without the virus. I looked up traveller 1248, thanks for telling me about that little known jewel, but ti seems hard or expensive to get.

I'd like to say that I think traveller TNE would be a good setting to reboot, especially given how popular the BSG reboot was. If someone were to reboot it and make the AIs not simply defective insane menaces to be hunted down and exterminated but made them a new type of life, evolving and...

http://www.fastcompany.com/1837966/mustafas-space-drive-an-egyptian-students-quantum-physics-invention I got my hopes up when I heard about the "lifter" that turned out to be just a glorified ionic air impeller, but this looks more promising, and I bet the mythbusters can't bust it.
