This is an old question, I know... and I'm pretty sure most of this is based on our current understanding of modern tansponders and little to do with actual Mongoose game mechanics... Are the standard range tables for detection and levels of information modified at all depending on a ships...

20% per point lost seems a bit pricey IMHO, but I get the fact that it normally costs more to fix many items than to simply buy it new. The next few sentences are from memory... I'm working all weekend and my books are at home... so these numbers could be wrong... For combat armor (MgT1) it is...

I was first introduced to Traveller in 1980/81. I was in 8th grade, about a year after I was introduced to the D&D basic set.

Yeah... it's all very basic... I used to LARP many years ago, and there was actually a rule about degradation of armor. Armor was reduced by 1 point once your armor was penetrated. You had to have an armor smith fix it to bring it back up to full after each combat. If your armor eventually...

Under the Sensor range chart, it is pretty specific about the level of details... minimal, etc... "hot or cold, tonnage of ship, general shape/hull type of ship" etc.. But if you are a long ranges, say in your "minimal" range for visual / IR in the 50,000+ ranges... AND you roll really high on...

Last week we ended the game in a lull in combat. The party had boarded a Vargr Corsair (it attacked the party's ship and lost) and eventually the party successfully hard docked with the crippled pirate ship. The party managed to fight through a group of 4 Vargrs in combat armor, knocking them...

That is a bit far from the area my players are in, but worth a look. Sorry for the abrupt reply an hour or so ago. I was in a hurry headed to a meeting so I had to keep it short and simple... Basically I know that many of you know more about this Sector than I. Tonight the players will have...

Culture is not my main question. Technology is not my main question. None of this is why I posted this subject. The question is... does anyone have any other suggestions for a place to Transplant the Safari Ship Adventure in this part of the Trojan Reach?

The Classic Adventure 10 (Safari Ship) was set in district 268. I would like to transplant this to the Trojan Reach somewhere in/near the sub-sectors of Non-31 Tobia sub-sectors, including Sindal, Dpres, and Boarder lands sub-sectors. Does anyone have any good candidates for a "safari" planet...

A couple of the guys I play with argue and bicker over the most minor issues, even issues that have nothing to do with the game. One such issue is a shake down cruise. They argue how much time it should talk before new players take over a new ship etc.. I patiently point out that there isn't...

With such a loaded word, I wish they had a written definition, a short paragraph or even a few words, in T5. (Yes I have a copy) It sounds like "hell world" isn't necessarily hot, (T5 has a separate designation for "hot" worlds... which is what confused me in the first place with the "hell...

So is Alsan alien book 1 no longer Cannon??? If the Traveller.map webpage is now cannon, then Albe is considered a "hell world" under the remarks, which I am assuming is their version of trade codes. Here is what it says about Albe under "remarks" on travellermap.... De He Hi In Po (desert...

Thanks. That is what I thought. I was looking at it late last night to verify, but then opened Travellermap on my lunch break The Travellermap has Strend as E while Mongoose has Strend as F. Since Mongoose is "official" and licensed to produce Traveller material, particularly since the Trojan...

I'm at work (as usual)... does anyone have the Mongoose Aslan book handy? Can somebody verify the TL for Strend, in the Strend Cluster? I seem to remember that it's a TL-F. If it's a bother, I can wait another 4-6 hours before I get home and check myself. I want to email a fellow gamer friend...
