First Submission: Miscellany

Hello Everyone! Here Goes:

Would anyone like to play an email game of Fifth Frontier War? It seems like
a perfect game for gamemastered pbem. My copy is two hundred miles from me
right now, but as soon as I get it I would like to play and/or gamemaster
a game.

Regarding 'Can This Universe Be Saved?' I haven't really liked the space
combat systems presented since Book 2. I liked the vectors! Now combat seems
to be just a lot of dice rolling with the winner usually being the one with
the right combination of defensive screens and offensive weapons that the
other ship can't screen. What is it like in Trav:2300 or MT? Of course I
don't really like playing once ships get bigger than say the Broadsword
class. Give me a Scout Ship anyday. The big ships are fine for boardgames,
but they take too much time away from roleplaying I think.

Has there ever been a computer program written for keeping track of basic
starship financial operations? I started one once in Basic no less, but I
don't have Merchant Prince, 2300, or MT. What would be the best combination
of current rules for running a free trader or up to a 800 ton cargo ship?

Has anyone out there ever run The Traveller Adventure? I recently found a
cheap used copy of it and was considering running it. Are there any major
errata? It looks like it will make the Referee job a lot easier.
