Traveller combat challenge

[battlebrotherbob]

Nice work on all that stuff. I would be willing to give it a go.

For the personal combat challenge, which ruleset should I use? There is a difference between the LBB first printing and ones printed after 1980. In my universe I would use either The Traveller Book as core rules, most up to date, or Snapshot. Snapshot because it brings in all the Book 4 weapons without changing the character generation rules. Then do you have a standard load out of UPP and weapons for crew and intruders? Just trying to be on a common baseline here. The only deck plans I have left is the one that came with Snapshot. A Far Trader and a Type S/C Scout.

As for the Spaceship combat, which system, Book 2 or Mayday. I will work with either. Plus which ships ate going to be used. A Fat/Far Trader vs a Corsair? A scout vs something else? Standard load out on weapons? Generic missiles? Again trying to build a baseline in common to work with.

I look forward to trying this with you and work with a game I love. Plus it will help hone my skills for when my campaign gets going later this year, I hope.

Well I see you edited your rant. I had no problems with it. If fact I had a largish reply to it, but ill shelve it. One point you continue to hit is you feeling ripped off. Sold something and then it being unworkable, then having to buy something else. We are talking first generation games. I find Traveller no worse than OD&D. At least there is no need to by anything else to play. D&D "needs" Chainmail and Outdoor Survival. LOL. But I do love that clunky old system.

Ok ill work on getting this on the board ASAP. Ill use my LBB and build a crew and intruders. I don't have the computer skills you seem to have, I will be using text and if I can figure it out some photos. lets get this done then move onto spaceship combat. As for Zero-G combat there are some mods built in to combat system. It also mentions most of the ship is depressurized going into combat except if valuable cargo is in place. When I set up my game I restate the standards im using and what Zero_G effects are.

I look forward to doing this, and maybe learn about a new system.

I hear you. No worries mate. I took it as an intellectual challenge nothing more. I found it interesting and made me really think about why I love the system. Thank you for that. I'm still going along with personal combat challenge hopefully this weekend. Post when I get dome stuff done. Keep me thinking.

I to got side tracked. I still intend to get through it though. Now especially since I am rereading all the rules, how hodge podge my memories have become. I have added Book 4 skills and stats to what I "remember" doing in the day. LOL. So I need to reorganize my thoughts.
