MgT / CT Compatibility

[vertigo25]

As far as I can tell, if I wanted to use any of my old Classic Traveller adventures (I have all of the GDWs and FASAs), Mongoose Traveller would be 100% compatible.

Is there anything I'm missing? I mean, obviously there's mechanical differences, but stats seem to be universal. Is anyone aware of anything that might be a gotcha using CT stuff?

Weapons. That's the big thing.

More specifically, the weapons included in CT sources but not (yet) in MGT sources, and the weapons that changed significantly between the two editions.

No, I don't have a list.

Yeah I was thinking of converting the survival rifle from the Avenger supplement for equipment and the damage is in CT stats. Its only 1D and seemed too low for MGT. I was thinking of raising it to 2D.

I was thinking of doing the same with shortbows from Supp. 4.

My big problem with MGT's weapons and armor is that the ratings are too low (for guns especially); IMNHO, pistols* should do 3d and rifles 3d+3.

*= Save for body pistols; those ought to do 2d like in LBB1.
