I vaguely recall a oolourful red, but I probably am misremembering.
But tiger stripes should work.
But tiger stripes should work.
ITTR I saw somewhere an Aslan ship painted with tigger stripes, but I cannot remember now the exact article.
I also think to remember somewhere I read Aslan writtings having been used as decoration (akin arabic writtings are), and the picture for an Aslan vehicle in page 30 of MT:101 vehicles (vehicle #30) also suggests it (or so it seems to me). Not sure if this is extendible to starships, but may be a starting point...
In any case, I guess camuflage painting will not be used in space, by no one, as there's no point for it

.It was a vargr pirate vessel painted in the orange and balck stripes it was the front cover of a MT adventure set in Vland during the rebellion - Flaming Eye.
GURPS traveller has alsn ships and vehicles decorated with quotes from heroic poems etc. The old MT starship ops manual had ships covered in a chameloen surface so it could display whatever you wanted from corporate ads to running stripes.

You're probably right...
No surprise I didn't find it in my collection: AFAIK Flamming Eye didn't arrive to Barcelona (or at least in the shops I know)

I go with metallic gold, silver, bronze and copper maybe platinum too. With browns and other natural colors. This as oppose to the Vargr vulgar color patterns. I also use a semi Arabic looking script.
That actually looks more like Thai or Lao.
Arabic is entirely cursive. (Tho' several semitic scripts are separated letters, including coptic.)
For me, when doing aslan, I usually describe the ships as various metals and primary colors, but with the primary colors being slightly off due to different photochemical receptors. Mostly solid metal tone with colored accents, and poetry in a contrast on the accents. (Much like their clothing.)

There are illustrations of aslan writing on character illos. Sup 8 p 13 is indistinct; AM 1, p 3 is semi-distinct, and the back cover equally so
For ships, AM 1 p 32 shows a striped aslan fighter with a similar (but bolder form) to the character illos script.

I would have been of the opinion that the favourite big stick of the Aslan Navies would be the Particle Accelerator Weapons System.
Please, can you explain why do you think that?
Aslan give uttermost importance to honor, but are also fierly fighters, and my take is they will not overlook meson advantages (while perhaps they will refrain using them against anyone that has none...).

The technology allows you to scale between turret, barbette, bay and spinal, and should be logistically friendly.

Yes. However,
They says "Considered obsolescent by contemporary Aslan standards, the ship has enough life left in it to provide effective protection for the colony ships it escorts, and to provide scout and recon services as the fleet seeks out new colony worlds".
I think Weakhto-class is an only old type convoy escort. It is not a battle-line ship.
According to the 101 vehicle, Aslan's TL is the 14. That is the important point.
In order to defeat Imperial fleet, the Aslan fleet needs more powerful warship with a spinal weapon.
This is only my opinion and sorry my English is not so good. :rofl:

I agree in all your points, but that's the only Aslan Cruiser I found in any Traveller material I have.
Yes, it's only one of large fighting ships of Aslan.
So, I have to make new original war ship, however there are few hints
.Firstly, I made 50dt large fighter.
Then, I made 5,000dt destroyer.
Finaly I made 50,000dt Battleship equipped meson gun M, 3G, J-3, Agility=3
or 30,000dt CA equipped meson gun M, 3G, J-3, Agility=1.
Sorry, these are outveiws only.
