Hi, I saw a bunch of questions I think I can answer
1 the movie with the wierd race of creatures at the bottom of the ocean
and the cloroflorocarbon breathing apparatus was Abyss
2 The movie with the wierd sea monster that kills people for no apparant
reason and bites a JIM diving suit in half was Deep Star Six
3 the movie with the Other weird sea monster that was created by a russian
genetic engineering experiment that kills people for no apparant reason
With Buckaroo Banzi as the star was Leviathan.
But on a more serious note: Matter Transport in trav.
The subject is addressed in detail in adventure 12 Secret of the Ancients
Basically the Transporter of Star Trek falls into the catagory of
ancient artifact level of technology. Frankly, It's just a mite too powerful
a device to be standard equipment on your average type S scout.
There are a few ways of performing Teleportation, but If I remember rightly
they aren't much better than the ordinary Psionic Teleport skill.
Mr. Scott
Speaking of bad movies I just saw Saturn 3: DUMB Flick
It did have one neat idea though that might be usable in Trav: at one
point the guy uses a breaching charge which is sprayed out of an aerosol
container. It struck me as a neat possible weapon. (keep that can away
from heat or flame!)
And while I'm on the subject of weapons, Has anyone come up with a design
for the good old TL6 support weapon which can take down a guy in battledress
Yes, the old FLame Thrower?
Just rambling
Scotty
