Traveller Starship Combat system

[Jarec]

Please can we have a new Starship Combat system for Traveller. My players and I really want to be able to play out these sorts of things in a less abstract form. Everything from pirates attacking a lone trader to a fleet of merc cruisers running a planets systems defense boats and satellite defense network. The current rules just have no soul, you never find yourself walking away from them reliving momments of high tension like you do with a good RP combat.

Have you checked out High Guard? There is an alternate combat system for space craft in that book.

Whilst the alternative rules in High Guard do allow you to represent movement using figures they still do nothing to turn space combat into a role playing experience. In my game space combat is typically small numbers of small ships, 100ton vs 100ton. For these small scale battles it would be nice to have something that gives a more "Role Play" like experience.
