TNE: FIre, Fusion, and Steel

[LordVan]

Has anyone tried converting various alternate technologies from TNE: Fire, Fusion, & Steel to the new Traveller D20? Such as alternate shields, and subspace engines.

I personally haven't done that, although I have included heplar thrusters in a F-library contribution (the T4 to T20 ship pack).

Might be interesting though, I've never had any reason to do it, being the Traveller purist that I am.

I looked at some stuff from FFS... Specifically, Solar Panels and a few other items. Probelm was, I couldn't draw even an acceptable abstraction of converting MW to EP. I found a few things in T20 that suggest that 1 EP = 10 MW... But I've also found a few tings that suggest the conversion is drastically different. I did however, using only T20 rules, reverse-engineer a few power plantsand drive trains to create what I felt was a fair wind-power and hydro-power plant design, and then built a whole bunch of different sizes. Not sure how useful they'd be, but if people want'em, I got'em...

Hi Arch,

Old-timer grognards trace the use of megawatts back to a reference in Striker, which says that 1 EP roughly corresponds to ... get ready for it ... 250 MW. Wow.

Sounds like too much, to me.
