The Many Editions of CT

[RainOfSteel]

Over in the T5 playtest forum, the subject of CT editions came up. Sigg Oddra pointed out that CT had four editions.

Since I only have "2", apparently, I was wondering if someone (hopefully Sigg), will be able to go over the major rules differences between each version.

Well, I know The Traveller Book was a consolidation of the original LBBs. Regina subsector as a starting point for the game and a couple of adventures. Laid out pretty much the same as the T4 book. Plus it has pulse lasers. I also hear it's pretty much the same as Starter Traveller.

Some of the difference aren't exactly major, but you will find a few bits and pieces different.

Some obvious ones:

CT 1 - jump torpedos, trade route table
CT 2 - revised drive potential table
TTB - as per CT 2 but with lots of backgeound stuff added.
ST - range band ship combat and finally complete rules for pulse lasers.

Sigg Oddra,

That seems to fit my aging memory of TTB. I picked it up, and it seemed to be a verbatim reprint of the rules (oh, the layout was different, but that seemed like all).

Were there any differences in rules between CT2 and the TTB?

I've got CT (2e) and TTB - can't seem to find any differences between them.
