Hi Condottiere, In the book the main character Kendra Pacelli is from Earth where one has to have a certification to do just about everything thing. Kendra arrived in the Freehold and when applying for work just listed her degree in accounting and certifications during her military service on...

Hello all, Michael Z. Williamson has a series set in the Freehold of Grianne. In Book 1 Freehold military personnel receive a 5% increase in pay for each secondary skill they have.

Hi Condottiere, I can only answer questions 2 and 3 of the poll. The Steyr Aug is better than the AR-15/M-16/M4 carbine looking and no I'm not Australian. For me to agree which weapon is better I would have to perform the tests under the same exact conditions to be able come to the same...

Hello FreeTrav, I just thought about a solution while looking at this thread. The suggestion is for the primary position to get the full standard salary and the secondary position to get 50 or 75% of the salary.

Hello all, On the TML a question was asked about the salary for a crew member filling two positions in MgT 2e. So far my efforts have not found an answer. Can someone please point me to the book and page the information is found on? In CT LBB 2 1977/1981 p. 16 I did find this bit of...

Hello Condottiere, I think that it is worth the effort to explain how a turret that consumes 1 ton of internal volume is able to house one to three (four using the quad option) weapons, hold 1 ton of missiles or 0.6 tons of sand canisters, the reloading system, fire control equipment, and...

Hello phavoc The difference between a standard cargo hold on ship and a magazine is that a standard hold is not designed to contain or direct the resulting explosion which usually means that the ship is blown apart. An ammo bunker is a reinforced storage building. We have at least one pet...

Hi phavoc,

Hello phovac Traveller has magazines for missiles. CT LBB 5 HG 1979 Options and Other Possibilities p. 32 "Magazines: Any ship with missile racks installed in bays may allocate a magazine equal in tons to the points used in determining missile factor for bay or turret. The total of such...

Hello AnotherDilbert CT LBB 2 1977/1981 p. 23 the hardpoint has a cost of MCr0.1. CT LBB 5 HG 2e does not mention anything about fire control that I have found and that the missile, lasers, and sandcaster turrets consume 1 ton per the turret weapons table. In CT LBB2 1977/1981 p. 32 a turret...

Hi Ursus Maior, CT LBB 2 stated that each launcher (sand or missile) has an inherent capacity for three missiles or canisters. A triple turret with three launchers has three canisters or missiles per launcher for a total of 9 rounds. My guess is that one canister/missile is on/in the launcher...

Hello NOLTrav, For a quick pass I think that you hit the mark without knowing that Mongoose had already addressed the issue. Yes, the article includes the following modules: Starport Shuttle (Passenger), Assault Boat, Fieldwork shop, mining, and shelter. In MgT HG 2e I was not sure if there...

Hello all, In the Modular Cutter: What do modules cost Reynard identified a new source for the Modular Cutter found on MgT HG 2e pp. 102-103/PDF 103-104. After reading the article my opinion is that NOLATrav was on the right track on how to build modules. MgT JTAS 3 pp. 87-96 revised the...

Hello phavoc, JTAS 5 1980 LSP Modular Cutter excludes the ATV from the modules cost. JTAS 8 1981 Broadsword Class Mercenary Cruiser includes the ATV cost. CT Adventure 7: Broadsword 1983 appears to be be taken from JTAS 8. The 50-ton Modular Cutter originated in CT and was imported into...
