I just happened to find his site last night.

So what sort of equipment should go into a standard adventurer's gear?

Hand comp/communicator
a weapon
light armour
multifunction pocket tool
flashlight
med kit

what else?

I think I'd rather reduce handguns to only 2d damage...

I assume you're not going to track consumables like food, water, ammo, clothes, money....

How about something special for each different career? Soldiers get a mercenary's commission (allows them to own heavier weapons and armor), merchants get an Imperial Trader's licence (permission to ship goods between planets), spacers get "Skill Tickets" for their highest space skill (allowing them to hold starship crew positions for that skill), scouts get "Detached Duty" warrants that let them get assistance from scout bases (and allows them to be on unexplored worlds).

I like the sound of those.

Thanks Oz

That's why I'd want to increase rifles to 4d, and change the rules to represent the difference between rifles' armor piercing capability and the shotgun's capability against "soft" targets - i.e. tweak the to-hit modifiers. (Also, this is my reaction to the seeming "coolness" factor of the shotgun I see in Traveller.)

[mike wightman]

I usually use the rule that armour ratings are doubled against shotgun pellets, this helps restore the balance a bit.

4d of damage in CT is reserved for really potent weapons - the shotgun against unarmoured targets, the laser carbine, the gauss rifle, explosive rounds.
Don't forget that if you are using the first hit rule (which I don't, except on an exceptional success ) then 3d is enough to put most characters down with the first shot, with 4d you are just about guaranteeing it.

I liked the T4 rule that allowed weapons to only count 3d of their damage against an unarmoured target - the shotgun being the exception.
