(B) Share original CT work appropriate to the header.

(C) Provide links to useful threads in the CT forum appropriate to the header.



Please keep the material Classic Traveller oriented. For example, equipment from MegaTraveller would be appropriate because it is 100% compatible with Classic Traveller. But weapons from MT sources should not be cited as they do not include Classic Traveller stats.

The "Viper", a three-shot concealable revolver that fires a very low velocity 12.5mm HEAP round. Wildly inaccurate at anything but point blank range, but will punch through cloth armor if it hits. Made of non-metallic components; illegal at Law Level 1+. A favorite on higher tech worlds where police wear body armor. This is a "top break" revolver like the British Webley revolver.

CT Stats:

Close: +0
Short: -1
Medium, Long, Very Long: no

None, Jack, Reflec: +2
Mesh: +1
Cloth: +1

Combat: -2

Damage: 4D

DEX: 10+ (+1): 5- (-1)

Wt/Cost: 500g, cr1,000+

125mm long (5")

Ammo is hard to get and illegal anywhere that the weapon is illegal. If ammo can be found, it usually costs cr5 per bullet (roll 10+ per week to find ammo; +Streetwise, -2 if Law Level 6+, 3d6 rounds found).

The Viper is almost as concealable as the Body Pistol and is made of non-metallic components. On a concealment roll, treat it as a Body Pistol, with a negative DM of -1 due to its somewhat larger size.

Striker: Eff Rng: C (5 meters) Long Range C (10 meters) Extreme Rng: 15 meters. Penetration at all ranges: 6

TL 9 Cordless Heavy Nailer

This is a cordless "nail gun" that carpenters use to fire heavy nails into wood or metal. It comes with a normal power pack appropriate for carpentry. However, it can take a much more powerful power pack, which turns it into a lethal close range weapon. (This modification is used by carpenters when they need to drive nails into particularly dense materials.)

The device is popular with criminals on worlds that have high law levels because it isn't typically classified as a weapon and therefore is usually exempt from gun ordinances.

[Icosahedron]

I'll post something soon, maybe, but isn't this what the 'Ships Locker' thread is for?
And shouldn't the NPCs go under the 'Adventurers' thread?
And the Animals under Bestiary?

Just asking. Not really sure what your aim is.

 

[tbeard1999]

Under Barrel Shotgun (UBS) -- a shotgun subsystem that mounts under the barrel of a Rifle, Automatic Rifle, Assault Rifle, Carbine or ACR (replacing the integral grenade launcher).

This allows the Rifle, Automatic Rifle, Assault Rifle, etc., to be fired as a Shotgun -1 instead of normally. The UBS holds 4 rounds. The UBS adds 2500g of weight and fires normal shotgun ammunition. Use DEX mods for shotguns.

Cost: cr500 TL8.

The Adjutant

Lists some military weapons that can be used in a Book 4, AHL, or Striker influenced game. Weapon stats are only given in Striker terms. See the VEHICLES Index thread for more info.




Here's an example of the type of detail included in The Adjutant materials:

M-25
The M-25 is an SMG issued to Special Operations units and Planetary Guard. It fires a 5mm, 125 grain bullet and may also be loaded with the 5mm LAPEX round (Light Armor Piercing, EXplosive tipped). A selectable fire rate is provided with 1, 3, and full automatic fire. Ammunition is held in a 50 round detachable magazine that feeds into the bottom of the stock forward of the hand guard. An integral battery and sensor in each magazine provides a digital display, in the scope or HUD, with the number of rounds left in the magazine.

This system is augmented with a single round, 30mm, cold shot RAM grenade launcher mounted under the 5mm barrel. A two-stage pump lever is used to eject spent casings and load fresh ones. This launcher is fired via a switch loacated above and forward of the magazine port. A wide variety of grenades are available, the most common of which are listed in the next entry.

Constructed of high strength plastics and carbon graphite coposits, as well as lightweight metal alloys, it is fully field stripable. Sighting is accomplished with a Laser Target Designator tied to the helmet HUD display on the M65 Armor suit or via a small-screen enhanced electronic video sight display at the rear of the sight. This sight is fitted with thermal and enhanced optical systems.

Complete Striker stats and illustration for the weapon follow this description.

 

[Judas Iscariot]

In the CT-Striker Yahoo group... I have a whole couple of files of new weapons for Traveller. You can just ignore the "Close" range band to make them compatible with Classic Striker (The weapons are intended for use with Striker III, which I have begun working on again now that I am out of school for a while...)

Anyone who wants to contribute... Come by the yahoo group...

TL 5-11 GPMG

Pegasus #9, the gaming magazine published by Judges Guild, brings us CT players an interesting article on the General Purpose Machine Gun.

This is a long article, stretching over a page, discussing all aspects of this weapon, its many uses, and its many versions. Complete weapon stats included.

 

[Judas Iscariot]

The link to the Yahoo group is:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ct-striker/

You will need to join the group, and then look in the files section for the Striker III folder.

In the Striker III playtest folder are two files the begin with "Personal Weapons..."

They contain slug throwers and Energy weapons.

I would LOVE to re-post them here, but looking at the formats... It would have to be in a font so small that no-one could read it... Plus, I would have to pull all of the data out of the tables that they are written into in MS Word...

Eventually, somtime this summer I will probably have my own web-page up for the Striker III project. I am hoping to make it T5 compatible, so I will need input from any of you who have knowledge of the comat system for T5...
