And yet MGT has released more than a dozen books for Traveller so far and while they have been content to revise Combat Armor to require no skill, nothing has been mentioned regarding Battle Dress and Vacc Suit skill. Again, in the RAW, these two are separate skills and wearing a vacc suit...

Star Marine... In the rules as written, Battle Dress does not equal Vacc Suit. And the Ref enforced that (another issue). So the character had Zero-G combat-3 and no vacc suit. A bit of common sense during the writing of the game would have fixed that issue.

Cool.. I just picked up ACER and it seems great. I really like all the SPICA stuff, so rock on!

This is great, thanks for putting it up!! The myriad of Scout bases in the sector really gives this a frontier feel.

There is no such thing as a one player mutiny. The fact that your players felt the need to spend a game year ramping up their skills, shows that there’s a big disconnect between what players want from their character, and what you and Mongoose think is acceptable. For all this talk of how...

So you need a game system that does that for you? :roll: The last character I made (using TW2013 - a system MGT could learn a lot from in the play-testing and editing department) is a competent military Special Forces medic, who has PTSD, suicidal tendencies; he's an alcoholic (in Afghanistan...

And yet you seem to be the person speculating about another man's 'equipment' size on an Internet message board... I think thou doth protest too much... I mean, why bring penises into the discussion? Something on your mind dude? :lol:

:lol: lol :lol: I'm sure there are small subsets of people who like paying (this is not an inexpensive hobby) for the privilege of playing subpar characters. You appear to be one. But a lot of people don’t. And I think most modern forms of gaming skew toward the later point of view my...

Kudos to them for not being slaves to random die rolls and finding away to play the characters they wanted despite the 'system'.

But they aren't 'designed' using any system. Even with point allocation, most NPCs break the rules. Basically, it makes most PCs become subpar-sophonts adventuring in a universe of actually competent people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food Basically, if they were to...

Is it just me, or do the NPCs that Mongoose Provides in various aventures and modules seem hyper optimized compared to the ash and trash PCs that character generation seems to produce? About half the time I play, I'd actually perfer to take a NPC set of stats and skills than roll on some of...

If you can't reliably get smart missiles or nukes, then Triple Beam on offence, Two Sand and a Pulse for defence (before high guard). Put your best guner in the beam turret and punish anyone who attacks. For Mongoose High Guard, use 2 beam, and 1 pulse in the main turret and two sand and 1...

So no battle dress and no combat armor.. how sad... :cry:

Yes, and wouldn't want to drive these hyper accurate gamers to go back to D&D, or Battletech would we? :lol:

In for a penny, in for a pound I say. But hey, if you can keep a straight face while telling players, who are roleplaying thier week in ‘jump space’, that battle dress is what goes too far, then rock on...
