I think Arthur may have a point here, what does the TL mean? Is it the
TL of the facility or the TL of the society/culture on the station? It is
concievable that the people on the station live an austere lifestyle in a
very old, very automated enviroment. We may think that our mania for planned
obsolescence which is a facet of our society holds true for Traveller, but
maybe not. Maybe the culture that constructs these habitats builds for
keeps, the station itself may be ancient. Just a few rambling thoughts while
I endure this hangover (shudder)

Glenn, you forgot one other category which MUST be exempted to avoid suits
against the government: Imperial Military personell *_on duty_*. Including
the Scouts... otherwise, military personell on assignment off the facilty
(especially short term, like carrying a message to the local gov'nor's
Guard Captain) need also to be protected... Especially the marine who
delivers the "Capitulate Now, or Else!" message to uncoperative worlds.

Sorry to send this to the list, but I don't have Kristian's or

When does Fifth Frontier War resume in January? Somehow it has
not gotten into my calendar, but it seems to me that it was a
date that was perfectly fine for me.
I look forward to seeing you then, whenever it is.
Thanks.

02) E000855-9 _ As Na Va _ 821 _ F9 V A1 V
03) E000473-9 _ As Ni Va _ 132 _ F4 V
Lessee, TL nine is pre-gravitic, but spacefaring. We're TL 8. So it is
rather simple there... They have the infrastucture capability.
04) X000213-1 _ As Lo Ni Va _ 820 _ M9 V
A 800 person corporate location. Sounds to me like they're probably rated
not on common tech but upon local production. They're able to work soft
metals.
As an adventure hook, I'd say it's probably a heavily overbuilt station,
with natural processes for aircirc... a biosphere under 3m Glass. No, they
can't repair it. It was originally someone's prison colony, then they
formed a corporation rather than let it be shut down, affter the second
generation was born.
08) X000001-5 _ As Lo Ni Va _ 341 _ M7 IV
A hermit. He's got some manufacturing capability, and his high common is
probably 9, low common about 4... Oh, and his two kids live with him...
They can make vaccum tubes, but not semi-conductors... And he said "No
Nukes" to the Scout who asked him "What do you locals allow?"

TL represents Local Unsupported Capability. You don't count imports. You
don't count irreparable artifacts. Just what they can locally produce by
local means.

And don't forget, according to GURPS, in (checks watch) just under 2 1/2
hours, the Eastern Time Zone in the US will have access to technologies
such as "human cloning, powerful exoskeletal suits, pistol sized laser
weapons, and immensely powerful cyborgs." [_Murphy's Rules_, 2d
edition, pg. 36]
Those of us here in the Central Time Zone have to wait _another hour_
for these technologies. :-P

OTOH, one of the things that makes AuricTech ships a bit more costly is
that we here at AuricTech _do_ believe that an armed ship, military or
civilian, should have enough power to run all n-space systems
simultaneously. After all, what's the point of arming a ship if _using_
the weapons makes the ship _more_ vulnerable?
Naturally, this approach costs more, but that's the AuricTech Way [tm].
(Which means, of course, that buying an AuricTech ship to avoid power
allocation worries means that the PCs have to work harder to make ends
meet. )

Another possible explanation is that the world's infrastructure doesn't
support production of goods above the listed TL, nor are items above the
listed TL routinely imported _for consumer use_. However, if, for
instance, the belt is a mining world, it may prove worthwhile (depending
on the substances mined) to import high-tech life support machinery.
This would not necessarily reflect in the world's listed TL, since folks
going to that system can't expect to buy items of the higher TL, nor can
the get repairs on any of their high-tech equipment.

I tend to underpower military ships as well. For example, CG is rarely going
to be required at the same time as 6G manoever. Primary sensor arrays and
backup sensor arrays will not be active at the same time. Frequently I
over-rate beam weapons' focal arrays to allow the captain to divert power
from the manoevre drives to weapons.
I guess I just like the idea of juggling power around in a crisis. "All
power to drives - give me all you've got..." Besides, what else are bridge
engineers for?

I usually do it because that way you can put more combat gear in. How
often are you going to need full AEMS power, CG and full broadcast
power for your radio? If I'm really pushed for power life support for
non-essential areas can go in combat, too (what counts as non-essential
is of course the PCs problem).

That's a point. I supose I should check out the Old One in the corner

High guard didn't allow this, but if only half of a Tigress' weapons
can fire each turn, why provide power to the other half?
Especially since that extra power counts for nothing when you take damage.
Also there are the more standard tricks of firing lasers at a higher ROF
using battery power or power from the anti-ship lasers that can't damage
your heavily armoured opponent.

***********************************
To unsubscribe to Traveller-Digest, send the command:
unsubscribe traveller-digest
in the body of a message to "traveller-request@lists.imagiconline.com".
If you want to subscribe something other than the account the mail is
coming from, such as a local redistribution list, then append that
address to the "subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe
"local-traveller":
subscribe traveller-digest local-traveller@your.domain.net
A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to
subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "traveller-digest"
in the commands above with "traveller".
