Traveller Starship Sensors Revised- Another Look

[shadowcat1313]

I sat down and did an extensive look at the Traveller sensor rules for starships and decided to post this for commentary

 

11 Active EMS Array: Multipower, 35-point reserve, (35 Active Points); all slots OIF Bulky (-1), Costs Endurance (-1/2), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4)

 

1u 1) Standard Ships Radar: Radar (Radio Group), MegaScale (1" = 1,000 km; +1), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (34 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Costs Endurance (-1/2), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4)

 

1u 2) Ladar Array: Radar (Radio Group), +2 to PER Roll, MegaScale (1" = 100 km; +3/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (34 Active Points); Custom Modifier (Requires Line of Sight; -1), OIF Bulky (-1), Costs Endurance (-1/2), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4) [Notes: Line of sight Laser Radar]

 

1u 3) Microwave Radar: Radar (Radio Group), Difficult To Dispel (x2 Active Points; +1/4), MegaScale (1" = 100 km; +3/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (34 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Costs Endurance (-1/2), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4) [Notes: also called All Weather Radar]

 

15 Passive Sensor Array: Multipower, 45-point reserve, (45 Active Points); all slots OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

1u 1) HRRP (Radio Group), MegaScale (1" = 1,000 km; +1), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (27 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

1u 2) IR Perception (Sight Group), Discriminatory, Analyze, MegaScale (1" = 1,000 km; +1), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (34 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

1u 3) UV Perception (Sight Group), Discriminatory, Analyze, MegaScale (1" = 1,000 km; +1), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (34 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

1u 4) Optical Telescopes and Visual Light Arrays: +5 PER with Sight Group (10 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

1u 5) X-Ray and Gamma Detectors: Detect A Class Of Things 11- (Unusual Group), Discriminatory, Analyze, Ranged (+1/2), MegaScale (1" = 1,000 km; +1), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (41 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

1u 6) Gravity Shielded Densitometer-12: Detect A Single Thing 14- (Unusual Group), Discriminatory, Analyze, Ranged (+1/2), MegaScale (1" = 100 km; +3/4), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (40 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Minute, -1 1/2), OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4) [Notes: This sensor uses an objects own natural gravity to directly measure the objects density, and provides a 3D Density map of the object or region]

 

1u 7) Neutrino Sensor-12: Detect A Single Thing 14- (Unusual Group), Discriminatory, Analyze, Ranged (+1/2), MegaScale (1" = 1,000 km; +1), Can Be Scaled Down 1" = 1km (+1/4) (44 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4) [Notes: used to sense high energy emissions and sources, this is very useful for determining the direction of the source, as neutrinos travel in a straight line away from the source]

 

1u 8) Neural Activity Sensor-13: Detect A Single Thing 14- (Unusual Group), Discriminatory, Analyze, MegaScale (1" = 1 km; +1/4), Ranged (+1/2) (28 Active Points); OIF Bulky (-1), Sense Affected As More Than One Sense [very common Sense] (-1/2), Crew-Served (2 people; -1/4), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4) [Notes: Extremely short ranged, usually used for sensor probes or for landing survey teams]

Powers Cost: 37

Let me know if you want to replace the package1/package2 in the Building Starships section with this...

Re: Traveller Starship Sensors Revised- Another Look

 

lets do that then, its more extra detail than anything else, I just went through and redefined some things
