I haven't used this, but it looks extremely interesting. It's a design system for Classic Traveller weapons and armor. (Yep, CT's own version of Fire Fusion & Steel).

You can get it HERE.

Design some weapons. The opening paragraphs of the book promise to turn out Book 1 stats for weapons. Let us know how they turn out.

Well it's not really FFS for CT, but it is a wonderful resource for designing weapons (both melee & guns) and armor.

Well...I guess: Book 2 Starship Construction + Book 5 Starship Construction + Striker Vehicle Design Systems + Book 8 Robot Construction + The Handbook = CT's version of FF&S.

I guess that's closer to a better comparison.

Kerry, you've used the weapon designs in The Handbook? Will it exactly replicate weapons and stats shown in Book 1?

According to pg. 3, under Weapon Summary, it states the design systems can be used to create either Book 1 style weapons or weapons for the alternate combat system you cite above.

But I can find no rules on how to translate the weapon stats into CT modifiers for range and armor type.

Well, that's too bad then. I haven't used it myself, but I've always dreamed about a system that would output CT stats for weapons and armor.

I thought one day, I'd work on that. But, it's never moved up on my priority list.

If someone made such a system, though--a good system that really works--that would be incredible.
