The Mayday project question 2, Rating HG weapons

I know Traveller always had fighters ...

Hi,

I believe that actually the 1st versions of Traveller actually didn't have fighters, but that they were added in MayDay and a later printing of the main rules.

Yep, there is evolution of the rules in action throughout the printing of CT. My current in play edition of the CT rules is the 6th or so printing that is in the Classic reprints. (note this is like my 3rd or 4th set of the basic rules as mine tend to get used up in play (Like this is a bad thing ) ).

Imagine this a flight of just 4 fighters releases their missiles and follows them in using their lasers. At maximum that is 12 targets. 4 of them shooting their way past.

Looking at page 136 of the new Mongoose rulebook, the fighter shown there mounts only a laser or missiles, but not both. I believe that this was similar to other early Traveller rulesets as well, but I don't know about later rulesets.

Ya know I missed that. but the basic concept is the same.
