tancred Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 The attached file has a Word doc and a HD prefab for most of the equipment listed in Book 3 of Traveller. It does NOT include armor of any kind, only the other equipment (communicators, survival gear, tool kits, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment more good work tancred I am working on another list to add to it, with a lot of bits and pieces from various books. i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tancred Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment Thank you; just trying to do my part. I'm sure there are bunches of stuff from the other books that could and should be added. I only have the LBBs, so I started there. We definitely need to include a note to look at Terran Empire and Spacers' Toolkit. I haven't quite figured out the cost multiplier, though; it looks to me like the TE-STK equipment is about 5 times as expensive as the Traveller gear. (Which would mean you should divide the cost of TE-STK gear by 5 to use it in Traveller, if I'm guessing right.) Also, I think we should note that the Nanotechnology and Body Modifications don't fit Traveller, at least not Classic Traveller. Although they could be an interesting variant.

shadowcat1313 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment nods, a lot of stuff that STK and TE and Star Hero dont even begin to cover but how much toestepping will adding much more equipment do?

tancred Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment That's where we have to be careful, all right. I had to go back to my doc and prefab and remove more stuff than I had to work up. My vote would be, if it's in TE, STK (or even Alien Wars), don't include it, just reference it. If a piece of equipment is only in a Traveller book, or is used differently in Traveller, include it. If the write-up in Traveller is significantly different than that in the Hero book, include it.

Eodin Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment MY thoughts exactly. And GURPS Traveller makes mention specifically that Nanotech and Body Mods don't fit the Traveller mileau, so we should say something similar in ours.

tancred Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment Has anybody looked at the cost of Terran Empire / Spacers' Toolkit gear vs. the cost of Traveller equipment? It looks like, on my first pass, that TE-STK equipment is about 5 times as expensive as the corresponding Traveller equipment. This is only a rough estimate. Some of the weapons, in particular, the multiplier looks more like 7-9 times. (It's also probable that the multiplier varies by category, as the costs given in STK do.) I thought that we ought to include a note about converting the cost, when we reference TE-STK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment one thing to keep in mind on some traveller equipment, as it goes up in tech level above intro TL it gets smaller and cheaper in a lot of cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eodin Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Traveller Book 3 Equipment Yeah, when I did the FASA Trek, a lot of stuff worked out to like 1CR per Active Point, medicines especially. We should probably use the average Traveller prices as a basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
