Traveller FT (was RE: Introduction to the list)

Hi

I am very interested by your spreadsheet and MS Word document.

Grettings

FWIW, I made an excel spreadsheet several years ago for building
High-Guard
ships (A wonderful construction system, by far their best - the combat
rules were a little screwy though). It basically mimics the ship design
worksheet from Supplement (12?) Forms and Charts. I would be happy to
e-mail it to anyone interested, but not until tomorrow, as I don't have
it at work with me. I have been interested in ways of taking the
High-Guard
era ships and using them in FT. The best rules I have seen for this have
been Steve Parsonage's "Fifth Frontier Thrust" - You can find the text
rules on Mark's Web page at:

http://www.uwm.edu/~cthulhu/FT/5thThrust.txt

I have converted the same rules to a nicely formatted MS Word document, so if
anyone would like a formatted copy I would be happy to provide one
(assuming of course that there is no objection from Steve - The rules
and
his name are all still intact - just re-formatted)

Subject:  RE: Introduction to the list

Welcome! I'm actually working on an Excel spreadsheet to build High Guard(2nd
Edition) ships. I think the campaign rules from Trillion Credit Squadron can
easily transfer to FT. So far, as I look at FT the designs all seem to convert
to Traveller Book 2 (1 mass = 50 tons). For High Guard to make sense the ratio
seems to be 1 mass = 500 tons. Michael Brown
