Hello folks,
I have uploaded a character generator for MEGATRAVELLER. It uses the Basic
Character Generation System. It is written for IBM PC and compatibles using
Borland Turbo Pascal. It's freeware and you can download it from sunbane
(129.100.100.12).
Some additions to the discussion about MEGATRAVELLER successor:
I like the MT system, but I see two major disadvantages:
1.) Get rid of the 6g max. maneuver drives. I don't like this restriction,
especially because most of my starship designs have enough energy
resources to get more acceleration.
2.) Try to create a 3D starmap system. I don't like the simple 2D Hex
system used now. It is easy, but the average distances between the
stars are to short.
A remark to the layout of the rulebooks:
It is really hard to find an important point if you search for it.
I think a register would help to find the rules you need.
Suggested words:
Weapons: list, price, availability
Skills: Admin, Broker...
