TNE Core Rules + FF&S

[Jeffr0]

After enjoying Brilliant Lances and the 1248 series, I'm sorely tempted to pick these books up.

Is there any word on the FFE TNE CD? Next year sometime? Later? Never?

Is the DriveThruRPG editions of good quality?

Will my few remaining CT friends stop talking to me if I start messing with TNE materials?

Will I enjoy these books as much as I think I might or will I be disappointed?

 

[robject]

Will my few remaining CT friends stop talking to me if I start messing with TNE materials?

I guess I've already stopped talking to you Although it's not because I don't like you. Sorry!

 

[Jeffr0]

See... it's started already!

 

[robject]

So, now that I've shown you the scan quality of FFS, why don't you give it a plug here on COTI?

 

[Jeffr0]

The scan looked to be of an above average quality. Maybe one page looked off, but on a quick glance, it looked fine to me. Dang... one less reason not to buy it! :evil:

 

[Starviking]

FFS & TNE rocked my world (No, really!).

FFS is a very good 'gearhead' book. Can give bizzare answers for smaller-scale things (Like tanks) but for building believable tech for a game universe there's the dog's bollox. Just make sure it's the updated version.

TNE is a hefty book. You can run everything with it. A fair few setting and adventures are detailed. Character creation is great. The only downside is the combat system which is slowww...

You might also want to try and pick up 'Path of Tears'. A setting book which I don't think has ever been equalled, let alone surpassed.

Oh, and you can be my pal if you want

 

[Zparkz]

The TNE rulebook and FF&S are the core of my Traveller games. FF&S are probably the most usefull book for those who like to create their own gaming universe with alternative tech.

The only thing I was a bit dissapointed with was the character generation. It is easy, but generates rather flat characters as there are no real events during the generation other than promotion and special duty. The advanced character generation from MT suits me better.

But all in all, TNE worked just fine with me.
And you may be my friend as well =0)

 

[Blase]

Is there any word on the FFE TNE CD? Next year sometime? Later? Never?

Is the DriveThruRPG editions of good quality?

From an email MWM sent me in August:

I plan a TNE disk early next year.

The only problem here is that he will surely want to release T5 first, and that can take some time, and after that there is FASA CD next in line, which puts TNE at the end of the line.

As for DriveThruRPG, I have some books, and I'm really happy with the quality.

Hope it helps,

Blase

Tne is my favorite traveller

While I wouldn't go as far as to say TNE is the best Traveller Ruleset, its easily my favourite. While i wasn't a big fan of the character generation( character generation in traveller is supposed to be a game within a game ) , everything else ( including combat) rocked. The inclusion of FF&S turned back the clock and made Traveller the ultimate scifi rpg toolkit again .

Spreadsheet

Greetings all

I would like to restart my tne-world with a new party. But this need a lot of tl9-10 equipment (mostly star- and spaceships, ship-weapons, hand-weapons). So, could anyone send me ffs-based spreadsheets or any design-templates to my mail?

best wishes

PG

(I apologize to you to my poor english. )

 

[shield]

Have you check the BARD site, It has lots of vehicles and ship of varying tech.

I have a couple of ships / shuttles and will post them in the next couple of days.

Okay first ship, a heavy earth to orbit shuttle at TL9

Poni-B Class Heavy Shuttle

Developed by the Shield Polity in 1204 to provide heavy orbital transfer capability using the basic TL8 and emerging TL9 technologies at the new starports opening within the polity. Its purpose was to provide a small shuttle capable of lifting 100 displacement tonnes into orbit, and manoeuvring to a space station, whilst allowing a rapid turn around on par with the relic Heplar powered shuttles.

The rapid turn around provision prevented the use of solid fuel boosters. Conventional turbofans are used to provide motive power to raise the shuttle to its orbital insertion point (90%) whilst the new contra-grav system neutralised the crafts weight. At the high orbital insertion point, the shuttle’s fusion rocket could be safely ignited to boost the shuttle out of the upper reaches of the atmosphere and into orbit. The design’s flexibility allowed a significant fuel allowance to be carried to allow considerable orbital manoeuvring, and even transit to nearby moons and planets. A small allowance has been provided in the fuel supply for the turbofans to allow atmospheric manoeuvring.

Small staterooms are provided for all 4 crew.

The fuel supply allows both powered ascent and descent. The turbofans burn for 151.2 minutes for ascent and descent leaving 16.8 minutes spare capacity. The fusion rocket requires 16.8 minutes burn (0.14G) for orbital insertion and de-orbit burn, the remainder can be used for orbital manoeuvring. The following burn times are for a type A planet, smaller worlds will provide a greater fuel reserve.

Another one, a TL9 smaller shuttle

Settler-A Class Shuttle

Developed by the Shield Polity in mid-1204 to provide general orbital transfer capability using the basic TL8 and emerging TL9 technologies at the new starports opening within the polity. Its purpose was to provide a small shuttle capable of lifting 50 displacement tonnes into orbit, and manoeuvring to a space station, whilst allowing a rapid turn around on par with the relic Heplar powered shuttles. The shuttle was designed to operate from the smaller ports within the Polity and be built by the newly opened smaller shipyards.

The rapid turn around provision prevented the use of solid fuel boosters. Conventional turbofans are used to provide motive power to raise the shuttle to its orbital insertion point (90%) whilst the new contra-grav system neutralised the crafts weight. At the high orbital insertion point, the shuttle’s fusion thermal rocket could be safely ignited to boost the shuttle out of the upper reaches of the atmosphere and into orbit.

Two low tech asteroid missile platforms for very basic planetary defence and aTL10 booster pack that allows them ot move

Improved Bastion and Bulwark Planetoid Missile Bases

For all those TL 8 planets with moderate populations who can't afford those nice TL15 Imperial standard warships (or the cheap vargr knock offs), and have not got the starport or heavy infrastructure for building fancy starship hulls; there are two designs to provide close in protection for the system mainworld against commercial vampires.
The vessels are wholly TL8 construction for ease of maintenance and to reduce balance of payments problems. They are designed to be placed in orbit around the main world and to remain hidden pretending to be minor moons or
old belter mining sites until the unsuspecting vampire closes in to perform planetary bombardment.

They are designed to operate in groups of three; 1 bastion command base and 2 bulwark missile bases - Total cost MCR 94.15193 approx. half the cost of a dragon class SDB but with twice the fire power.

They are based upon the planetoid hull rules devised by Rupert Boleyn and listed on the BARD pages. Missiles where chosen as the main armament due to the poor laser performance and lack of fusion PP at this TL. They can be re-supplied / crew swapped by simple relic grav vehicles

The bastion will detect the vampire and handoff sensor locks to the more heavy armed bulwarks via the laser coms.

A low tech SDB sold to impress a TED (who didn't know better). Spare space can be converted into luxurious rooms for the TED (who feels a bit safer on his warship)

(Yes this ship is a death trap if someone wants to take out the TED).

Valiant Class System Defence Boat

Developed by the Shield Polity in late 1204 to a one off model to be sold to the TED of Seben. The design provides a very basic SDB, that can easily be outclassed by Shield naval vessels, but is sufficiently capable to impress TEDs without experience of naval actions. The original concept was for a TL8 design, however the extremely poor fuel use associated with TL8 drives forced a design change, and the Valiant incorporates a large Daedalus drive unit salvaged from the Kelvin Highport.

Although the Valiant has a streamlined hull for appearances, its nuclear drive system prevent operation in an atmosphere of an inhabited planet. The design has not been optimised, over 180 cubic meters and 25tns are still available for use, the ship only carries TL8 lasers, which although quite effective only have an effective range of 30,000km. No missiles or decoys are carried.

Small staterooms are provided for all 10 crew, although the 4 man marine fire team is only provided with bunks. A cargo bay of 50tns is provided for general usage, and the Valiant has a docking ring for 20dtn craft (primarily Little Renegade Spaceplanes used for replenishment), although the Valiant is not designed to manoeuvre with the small craft docked, and will suffer a reduction in acceleration.

Type 37 Interdiction Satellite

Third imperium / Old Expanses Sector

The DDD&S type 37 unmanned station was used by the old expanses sector government to protect worlds which it deemed necessary to interdict. The navy and scout service both used manned ships or satellites of their own design. Only a few examples of the Type 37 were produced, and several have been removed from service.
In addition to performing most interdiction satellite functions under the supervision of its on-board robot brains, the type 37 can also be used as a manned observation station. Facilities on board can support three officiers and nine ratings.
To provide refueling facilities a 10tn launch is stored onboard (with its own robot brain controllers). In the event that the satellite is used as a manned station, the launch is replaced with a 50th modular cutter.
The Type 37's armament consists of nuclear missiles. Since most comercial ships do not carry nuclear dampers or significant armour, the missiles are usually effective. The satellite's high armour rating gives it sufficient protection againts the light armament of most commercial ships, even at point blank range.

OPERATION

The Type 37 responds to unauthorised intruders as follows:
1. A warning is broadcast on mast radio frequenceis stating the system is inderdicted and off limits. Craft are ordered to refuel at available gas giants and leave the system at once. A recording of transponder codes is made for latter investigation.
2. If the first warning is ignored, a second warning is broadcast stating the satellite is armed and will fire upon approaching vessels.
3. If this is also ignored, the satellite will fire warning shots at the incoming ship and repeat the 2nd warning.
4. If previous warning broadcasts and warning shots are ignored, the satellite will open fire to destroy the encroaching ship.

Authorised vessesls can issue override codes to prevent the armed response from the satellite. Such vessels will have their transponder codes recorded, but otherwise will be ignored. A reset code also exists that will delete the transponder record, as well as to cause the satellite to generate a damage and resupply report.

Deployment
The Type 37 is depolyed within the Old Expanses sector, at the following locations:
134-635 / Ahri 3 + 2 satellites (reinforced 1108 after a voliation of the inderdiction)
arcolund / Rusco 0 (5 satellites redepolyed at 134-635 & the edge with 1 satellite decommissioned, following replacement of interdiction satellites with a manned interdiction squadron in reponse to repeated attempts to violate the interdiction)
Cold Rock / ventup 3 satellites
The edge / ILE 2 satellites

Some TL8 planetary bases

Model 50 Dome Bases

In an announcement today at Trybec port, the RCSA revealed the first two in a series of modular dome base designs. Spokesman Travin Impressor, stated that the base design was developed by RCSA to assist in the brave attempts to salvage vitally need high tech items from the cemetery worlds. “It is not worth our boys dying out there due to shoddy equipment” stated Travin “these modular bases provide a standardise good quality accommodation and support both for salvage missions and other outposts”. When asked why the bases were built at TL8, Travin replied “TL8 provides a good reliable design, and allows most planets to produce them, including our allies outside the RC.” Spokesman Travin promised further versions of the Model 50 would be forthcoming shortly and would include accommodation and cargo modules in both powered and un-powered versions.

In a further statement today from Trybec port, the RCSA spokesman Travin Impressor announced the release of the next set of Model 50 Dome Base Design. “Today’s releases consist of three powered variants of the basic dome, handling accommodation, cargo and hanger space respectively”
When pressed on the apparent criticisms from various corporate sources, Travin states that “the Model 50 is available in both pre-assembled form for transport on both commercial and RCES clippers, as well as other commercial modular vessels, and it part-assembled kit form, to allow transport via normal commercial vessels for final assembly on site”.
When asked if the Model 50’s were safe especially since they did not have a reserve power plant Travin replied “The RCSA can only recommend that external users install an auxiliary power system. The RCSA will be releasing plants for modular auxiliary power systems based upon fuel cells and solar cells that are bolt on extras dependant upon planetary conditions”.
