In previous versions of traveller (just checked my copy of MegaT) sandcasters could be used as point defense against missiles. I imagine a giant shotgun being fairly effective in that role.
I notice in MGT core book that lasers PD vs missiles, and sand is PD against beam - is this a change / ommission? Tempted to allow sand v missiles.
I haven't got hold of HG yet so not sure if its in there.
PS Finally cracked and brought the core book (obviously), then Spinward, then 760 patrons, and then T&G. So much for never buying another paper RPG...
