Some questions about TNE Ship Design (FF&S?)

By Les Howie ·

TML message #7366From bundle 589

Having read a few things about TNE, I am now trying to decide on upgrading to
it, or staying classic.  I have never used the GDW universe, so the history
aspects are not important to me.  I hope that some folks out there can help me
understand a few things:

(1) What are the major areas change.  I have heard that it uses 2300 style
combat.  What else?

(2) Has the Task system been retained?

(3) How has ship designe been changed?  What are the major paradigms?  Can ships
be designed without having a dedicated Cray to do the calculations (my main beef
about megatraveller)

(4) I noticed a comment in last night's TML about chnages in "scientific"
rationalizations.  What material changes does this cause?

Thanks in advance for your input on this.
