Absolutely. I screwed up when someone asked about licenses,...I meant to
say that the licenses for the old MegaTraveller games have expired.
Planet III is doing fine.

Allow me to quote:

"Putting the Heat back into Plasma"

One of the most consistent requests we receive with respect to the 
equipment in Traveller(R)the New Era is to increase the effectiveness
of high energy weapons. Although we're reluctant to tinker with design
sequences and published equipment, the pressure for tougher fusion and
plasma rifles has been almost irresistable.

Never let it be said we don't listen to customers. In fact, the 
well-known third law of retail sales is "Always listen to your Customers."
(The first law is "Never kill a customer." The second law is "You
break it, your buy it.") So we took a good look at man-portable high 
energy weapons and concluded that, although they weren't as good as 
grenade launchers, at least they were real expensive. Hmmm.
Perhaps, we decided, there was something to all those annoying
complaints after all. The following modifications refer to pages in the
Fire, Fusion, and Steel high energy weapon design sequences.

..

Thought you all might be interested... The changes look pretty good, although
I have had much of a chance to really disect it to see how effective it 
makes things.

Is there an email contact address for Signal GK?  I sent in a
change-of-address when I moved last spring, but haven't got anything since
1993.
