NOTES:
EW = Energy Weapons: can shoot one shot per combat round.
Notes:
1. The recoils are probably way out of wack. When I originally created
this list it was for a conversion to MT stats, consequently I increased
the recoils. When I made up the list for transmission, I converted back
but the process was open to error.
2. The Kevlar helmet should probably be TL 8.
3. Energy weapons should have an rof of 1.
4. There is some disagreement with the damage, penetration, and recoil
values I have assigned to the higher TL weapons. I am open for opinions.
5. The lower TL weapons were derived from T2K sources.
Well, that's it for this load. I have a character generation worksheet
somewhere, If I find it, I will send it later. As I mentioned, I am
ready to make some changes to this system - not radical ones, but ones
that I see need to be done. Watch for it later this week.
Yours for Traveller,
Geo.
