I had read the speed reduction as a penalty which ATVs ignored, since it restates both penalties when it talks about ATVs in rough terrain.

Well, artificial gravity operates just fine far from planets, and M-drives are referred to as "grav thruster plates" in at least one spot, so not all grav tech relies on planetary gravity. I don't think there's an issue with that -- a small pod could easily use the same controls as a traditional...

I mean... flying tanks and gunships is explicitly what the Army/Cavalry career is about. Navy pilot calls out space fighters, shuttles, and other small craft, which are all Pilot (small craft), not Flyer (grav). I could certainly see armored cav making orbital drops as you describe, but they're...

I think you're missing my point. I don't think they intended for an ATV on normal off-road terrain to handle better than it does on a road. If we use both of these rules, it takes no penalty for driving off-road, and also gets DM+2 on control rolls. It seems like they had intended to say ATVs...

I have a couple of questions about basic training. First, if you are ejected from a career and later come back to it, do you have to do BT again or can you roll on a table in your first term back? Second, if you attend a military academy, you get the service's BT as your skills. If you enter...

Emergency Low weighs and costs half as much per person than normal Low Berths, which is generally more of a limiting factor than power. My take is that Emergency Low has more automation on the assumption that if it's in use, the entire crew may be in there and unable to monitor the systems and...

See, the Ancients thought like that too, and now all of space is full of radiation. :mrgreen:

Hello! I'm pretty new to Traveller, and I'm just looking for some clarifications about chargen. First, the flowchart seems to be... uh... really off. I saw the errata/clarification that you do get an advancement roll regardless of whether you attempt to earn commission, but I still have...
