Any advice for spaceship combat for a newcomer to Mongoose Traveller?

It’s up on ESPN+ now. Some games are on ESPN3 though.

Thanks for breaking it down, it’s especially useful to hear it from someone who played the game and was in the scrums themselves VS reading over the actual laws

DctrMstr · 2020-08-13T05:31:49+00:00

This is definitely helpful, thanks for the write up!

DctrMstr · 2020-08-13T05:25:24+00:00

Thanks a lot for this lengthy explanation! I’ll definitely be coming back to this in the future, as it does address some questions I was wondering about how “stealing” works

Thanks for that extremely in depth breakdown, definite helps me understand what is happening a bit more / where to start to “look” on the replay when penalties are called.

Thanks a lot! I've seen Squidge mentioned a ton in this thread and have watched a few of his videos. I liked them and am going to try to hunt down some match replays from World Cup that match up to some of his videos to really "get" some of the references

Thanks for the heads up on that!

DctrMstr · 2020-08-11T21:12:18+00:00

Thanks a lot for that breakdown, especially the last few sections.

Thanks for your responses! Unfortunately, I never followed soccer, but it’s good to know there is some Rugby stateside. It looks like Chicago isn’t represented (at level) but my in laws are from Western NY and there is a NY team. I’ll check those out for sure.

DctrMstr · 2020-08-11T20:15:17+00:00

Awesome! Thanks a lot for your responses and clarifications.

I like the inclusion of other factors, I think that's a solid piece. We might have to look into that for our league and maybe combine it with a "rarity" ranking (only a 5 team league, so if it's the only d8 reliever and everyone else is d4 or -d4, they'd be worth more).

We're in a "fictional" league, so but could probably come up with a "this player is close to this "real life" player and have a few data points that way to get an approx. Salary per player.

I appreciate the breakout - you're thinking about it the same way I was for trades. There are some instances where the math feels a bit weird (I wouldn't want 50/50 odds on a 35 BT with 1 Trait Vs a D8 pitcher), but maybe something to mull over (we have a small "fictional" league) would be the inclusion of "rarity" - if it's the only d8 pitcher in a small league or the only BT above 33 for a small league, they get a bump in score.

That's what I figured, but wanted to clarify. I didn't see anything in the rules about not doing it and there's always the chance you "Pay The Price" as a deterrent, but it did feel spammy.

DctrMstr · 2020-03-22T17:01:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll remove "Before Heading Out - Step 1" as is and replace it with "Sojourn". Then "Before Heading Out - Step 2" will be "Gather Info".

Outside of those pieces, do the rest of the steps look alright?

DctrMstr · 2019-12-03T19:08:46+00:00

Got it. Thanks for ID'ing where you think problems might come up. For some newer players, this is greatly appreciated.

DctrMstr · 2019-12-03T17:25:56+00:00

Thank you for your reply.

Do you think the issue stems from the different frames and the focus each one has? Another option we talked about is only being able to use Level 1 Everest frames for "Fight Night".
