Hello: Mystic Station Designs, LLC has been restock on all of the Power Projection books as well as all of the BITS Traveller books. The MSD online store can...
I need some help. I searched the topic and got 159 hits, too many to read all of them. I get how missiles work, either standard (M) or High power battery (M+)...
... The other important factors are that Nuclear Dampers on the target ship provide a negative modifier (-1, -2 or -3) against nuclear missiles, and that you...
... I put this on the BITS website. Dom ... "If his body was a temple, it was one of those strange ones where people did odd things to animals in the basement,...
... But only one per salvo. ... Yes. High level dampers do nasty things. The other fun missile technique is if you can get two salvos from different turns to...
... But only one per salvo. ... Yes. High level dampers do nasty things. The other fun missile technique is if you can get two salvos from different turns to...
... How about having some TL13 equipment aboard some Swordie vessels, provided courtesy of their Zhodani allies? Maybe even some older Zho ships could be...
I'd used the points differential to make up the difference - the Impies get a -20% penalty and the Woofs/Swordies get a +20%. This is already suggested in the...
I tend to agree with the canonista view of the TL12 to TL15 gap. The Vargr and Swordworlder's ships would be at a disadvantage. It just means the TL12 ...
... I'm not in favour of that approach, simply because converging the fleets to be closer in tech levels removes some of the fun of different fleets feeling ...
Of course the Swordies can just heavily load their ships with armour. They are only carrying J2, so they have the extra space. Sure the imperial light weapons...
Why would you fight a battle over empty space? There's an old adage that you should never fight a battle you don't have to win. If the tech level 12 fleet is...
The key is scenario design, as others have noted. Much of the early fighting in the Fifth Frontier War (at least according to the board game) took place ...
Exactly my point. Problem is, a lot of pick-up style games are "deep space" engagements. Meaning pull out the mini's and have at it... But if the TL12...
... One issue with this is if the Imperials are meson armed, in which case the armour is pretty ineffective. Dom ... "Even in the most depressing dystopia, ...
... Of course, a high G fleet could (theoretically) use the velocity it has to launch long range missile salvos at an orbital fleet, and pull clear before the...
... Looks guilty - I've let my JTAS subscription lapse... Can you summarise? Dom ... "Omnia Mutantur Nihil Interit" - Sandman 'The Wake' "Everything Changes,...
... Actually, I'm beginning to swing towards using the optional vector movement for missiles and fighter groups more - they're not as much work as I'd first ...
... If the TL15 fleet is attacking, it can keep the range open and pound the TL12 fleet with long-range spinal and missile fire. If the TL12 fleet attempts to...
Yes, at TL11 (most of the swords worlds) they have no meson screens, and armour doesn't work. They will just have to go for configurations resistant to meson...
Just like "don't take a knife to a gun fight", "don't take a TL12 ship to a TL15 fight"! ... If the TL15 fleet is attacking, it can keep the range open and...
... Well, yes. Except that if you're gaming it out, it is quite fun to see what happens when a man with a gun is faced by fifteen guys with knives. Nick ...
... Traveller Jump (FTL) takes 1 week and the ships are all incommunicado (and undetectable) during that period. Jump emergence can be plotted as close as the...
... whichever ... Yup. A conventional attack will have the intruder fleet jump in at a rendezvous point and regroup - ideally refuel if that's possible - and...
... As I feared, then. ... You'll need a fair bit of creativity to explain why the higher-tech fleet *didn't* manage to intercept the lower-tech one somewhere...
