I'm wondering what everyone's take is on blade weapons in Traveller? [Especially CT.]
They seem rather over-emphasized in the LBBs for such a sci-fi game; at the same time, there are even in those books some tantalizing justifications for their presence.
If you create characters with Bk1, you're likely to end up with some sort of blade skill. But I don't recall ever adjudicating any armed conflicts in my Traveller that involved bladed weapons! [I haven't actually really played in quite some time, sadly.]
So what's the story? How do people deal with blades in their Traveller games?
