Re: (2259) Alot of TidBYTES...

My own answer as to what to do about the problems with MT combat and
speculative trade is -- throw them out.  I've been working on a replacement
personal combat system based on Snapshot, Azhanti High Lightning and
Striker.  The first, partial draft is ready  for play-testing, just to see
if I'm on the right track at all.  I'll be happy to send copies to anyone
who would like to do that.  NOTE: Don't expect snappy response: I'll be
out of the office most of the next two weeks.  Also, don't expect a lot.
It's really just at the proof-of-concept stage.  It covers only basic ranged
combat, so far.

Speculative trade is another sore spot.  Re-working spec trade was the primary
purpose of the now-defunct Trade & Commerce sub-list.  A number of usse
kicked around some ideas, and Greg Givler assembled a preliminary draft of
an expaned trade system.  I could dig that out of the archives and send it
to you as well.
