With all the talk about celestial bodies slamming into each other, has
anyone converted the kinetic energy (in joules) into TNE/Traveller terms
for damage (I know, this question would come up sooner or later, so I
thought I'd ask it). I think it's obvious that anyone caught in the area
of the collision will be vaporized, but what damage does it do to the
surrounding area (converted into game terms)?
Also, how extensive was shooting asteroids at the enemie's cities used?
Could these same asteroids be used against starships? I remember an
article in Dragon magazine about 'round shot' turrets (I guess mass
drivers) used on starships to pound each other, but my memory is very
vague, so does anyone have any info on it?
Lastly, has anyone used the alternate jumps and power systems in TNE
starship designs yet? Thanks in advance.
