But it's using That System rather than (my favourite system), so
_obviously_ it won't be any good... :-)

Slightly more seriously - does anyone know whether the people writing it
plan to handle ship combat at all, and if so how? I don't believe they have
any wargaming background, but omitting it completely is unlikely to be
popular.

I hope they test it. The guys that did d20 Traveller (Traveller T20) didn't
test the combat system beyond PC sized ships which meant they didn't notice
that a meson bay (ie a secondary weapon, even though a military oone) has a
30% chance of completely destroying a 300,000 ton battleship. In a single
shot!!

Compared to every previous version of Traveller that's very wrong.

Ideally, the people doing the HH RPG need to run some of the battles from the
books as a sanity check to see if similar results are possible.

Cheers,
