Prime Directive Traveller

Another option would be to reduce the length of a tour. Perhaps to 3 years to slow aging and speed progression. Just a thought. :idea:

Looking back at the old FASA ST:RPG, it was much more generous with skills, and required certain skills to hold certain positions. Using the Mongoose Traveller rules I came up with a Federation character gereration template. I made attendance at SFA 1 term, but required officer cadets to attend basic training first. So, the end result is ensigns have more skills than Able Bodied Crewmen, but are also 4 years older.
Cadets also must select a branch (shirt color) and receive skills that equate with their branch. If you chose support (red shirt) then you had to chhose a sub specialty (communications, security (he's dead Jim), or engineering).

I modified assignments to Military, Logistics or Exploration. Each has it's own ship assignment variables, and possibility of survival, or promotion.

If anyone's interested would be glad to supply for your remarks. I could even help with the conversion effort? (Provide PM and I will e-mail).

Pretty much nil if you decide on security then...? :lol:

Or is that just if you happen to be assigned to the Big E? :D

Mike West sent me some species stats to review just as my father passed away. I haven't had time to look at them yet, but I will this week.
 
WOOT!
Just stopped by one of the seldom visited hobby shops in town... really a toy store more than a hpobby store but what can you say?

Anyway, I picked up a copy of the newest Traveller Rulebook off the clearance rack for $7.80... along with a $4.99 copy of Planetary Operations for F&E, FC: Klingon Attack for $5.99, and another copy of FC: Romulan Attack for $5.99. 8)
 
Thanks again for the well wishes.

Scoutdad, were you wearing a mask when you made off with the loot .... umm finds?

:D
 
Quick update.

Jean is still working through her backlog. Hopefully, she will be able to start reviewing TPD relatively soon.

Most of the first draft of character creation has been done. Including some templates for the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, and a pirate career for the Orions. Also mention any considerations for Traveller careers.

Current work is on combat and weapons. Followed by general equipment.
