Long-time occasional lurker, first-time poster. I played Classic Traveller a handful of times decades ago, but never owned any of the books myself. Fairly recently, however, I purchased some CT CD-ROMs from FFE out of a nostalgic desire to revisit and better understand the game after all these years. After reading the PDFs for the 1977 versions of LBB1-3*, I have a couple questions:
(* I'll be working my way through the CD-ROMs in something like chronological order, just 'coz that appeals to me
)
- Book 2, Starship Combat, Gravity (pg. 29): Here it states that the length of a gravity vector "is equal (in inches) to the strength of the gravity band in Gs" and then gives an example: "a vector dictated by the 0.5 G band of a world is 1.0 inches long." Shouldn't the length of the gravity vector from a 0.5G band be 0.5 inches, per the stated rule? Or is the stated rule incorrect here? (Or am I just overlooking something?)
- Book 2, Computer Software List (pg. 12): Am I understanding the Maneuver/Evade programs correctly when I come away with the impression that Maneuver/Evade-1 only provides a beneficial DM for a pilot with Pilot-4 or better skill (since the listed DM is "1/4 pilot expertise")?
