Seeing that I run a highly modified Traveller RP campaign and getting ready
to translate combat to the FT/DS/SG universe I have a thought or two
that I was wondering if anyone else has answered...

In Traveller, the Zhodani have fighter groups that are linked via a telepathic
adept on the carrier for increased CnC. Any thoughts as to the effects in FT?

How about a point cost for teleporting infantry (Zhodani commandos, would be
fast battle armour)

How about grav belts? (personal anti-gravity devices, basically all the
"good troops" have them) count as cavalry-ish?

I may have missed it somewhere in my travels, but has anyone done DS point
conversions for the additional troop types in SG? Or the other various
systems?

Thanks,

Here is the Full Thrust Traveller mailing list

I am not a member (I sold almost all of my Traveller stuff, I prefer to write
my own), but there could be something there for you.

G'day guys,

> How about a point cost for teleporting infantry

I vaguely remember a text file of alternative/extended DS troop types by

Steve Gibson. Does someone have the url for that? If not drop mea line and
I'll dig through my harddrive for you.

Cheers

Beth

Thanks! I see what they have to say, the issue hasn't been addressed yet FWICS
so I'll have to broach it...
