Traders and Gunboats - pg 56-57

All I know is this is going to be a loooong week in jump ...

I knew I was forgetting the JTAS article ... looked there first but not in all of them. Need to get my index and cross references updated ...

That is in Traders and Gunboats - pg4

Not at my table. IF a roll for Astrogation and Jump are necessary then that means something went wrong and they aren't following standard procedures. I make the rolls blind. They can find out what happens when they exit jump and try to determine where they are. Besides, I get to enjoy the...

This is how I envision Traveller 5e to be. And that's not a bad thing ... just different.

First result in Google for me ...

Classic Traveller is back! https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/traveller-classic-rpg-collection

Very interesting video - thanks for sharing!

So excited!!!! Another set of rules, lore, and a bunch more stuff to further divide the fan base! :rolleyes: I understand the marketing advantage of taking it to 5E to broaden the audience, but I do not see the 3I being that draw. - unless it is something completely different - and then it...

Just about all of the above could apply to Traveller as well - except for the movies of course - especially when reading these forums. Not an attack Actionman, and I do not disagree with you, just a observation. This is not in reply to Actionman's observations. That happened to come just...

And to add just a little more ... you have the Norden Bombsight in the B17s where the bombardier took control of the aircraft, through the bombsight to hit (miss?) the target. Gunnery or piloting? I would call gunnery here but would there be the -2DM in the pilot task if the pilot was too far...

Agreed ... and why I see that as piloting (the craft) and not gunnery (the turret). If it's fixed forward, it takes that "turret" part out of the equation. Now ... the question of that being normal or within the pilot training, RAW say they are still different.

Sorry ... I must have removed some of the additional explanation there in my edits. If you plop an F15 pilot into an F18 and ask him to land on a carrier, I doubt they are going to be able to do that even though they are both using the piloting skills - they need that training and it is...

Fire Control takes away the penalty to the pilot which almost all fighters have. Irrelevant. The pilot needs to move the plane to make the cannon hit, the cannon is not moved independently from the airframe. We can argue over 21st Century semantics applied to XX century technology another...
