I see that the ranges for space combat are dramatically increased in the 2300 sourcebook from the Traveller Core rules. The table however lists "range bands" next to each category instead of "Thrust to Change". The numbers are quite different, and are a range instead of a value. (ie. Very Long = 10-16 range bands)
What does this mean? Very Long range in Traveller has a Thrust to Change of 25. 2300 Ships are given a Tactical Movement to use to change bands but.. I thought "Range Bands" were the category (ie. short, medium etc.)
Whats up?
It gets addtionally confusing when on page 204 it states that military sensors have a base range of 5 for starship combat, while advanced sensors have a base range of 7. Is this what the reference to "band widths" on the table is talking about?
Did something get changed in the translation where each of the previous "Thrust to Change" values has become sort of a different band within each category or something?
I guess Im asking if the sensors table is adjusted to the new 2300 range bands too?
Weapons and such were modified in Traveller by each category. Shouldnt sensor operation be handled the same way. Or am I totally missing something?
help!
