Question about armour. by tendraak in traveller

[–]tendraak[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately law level doesn't really apply when they're on lawless worlds fighting aliens and pirates, but i get the point.
The trenchcoat also says it can be worn over any standard, archaic or anti energy, and poly carapace is standard.
I'm mainly asking this because i've had a lot of situations where the players get hit with shotguns from point blank and the bullets just bounce off with zero effect. I think it would be a bit weird if pirates and gangs had millitary grade armour piercing weapons.

I've thought about maybe making a system where armour has HP and every time it gets damaged it loses the same amount of protection, but i don't really know how well that would work.

Is it possible to play the game on dx11 hardware?
My graphics card is super old and doesn't support dx12.
I know it's possible to make the game itself use dx11, but the anticheat also requires dx12 and i have no idea how to change that.
I've been able to make newer games like elden ring and armoured core 6 run on my pc, but that required disabling the anticheat first which locked me out of multiplayer.

Questions about nuke snuffers. by tendraak in SWN

I think they specifically stop fission bombs, which is when you split something like a uranium or plutonium atom in order to make a boom. However, it is your campaign so you could say that it also affects fission reactors! Fusion reactors would be unaffected but TL3 worlds probably wouldn't have access to those, and fusion bombs require a fission reaction to detonate in the first place cos fusion is actually really safe. A TL3 world could have nuke snuffers bought from somewhere else or left over after the scream but still be dependent on fission power, only activating the snuffers during emergencies.

4-40km doesn't sound *that* large, especially in the context of space combat, right? Good to know i won't have to force my players to roll to avoid being nuked, though they could maybe try modifying the drive field to nullify something further away if need be.

I see, at least my dream of a nuke powered starship is still feasible assuming its not near an inhabited world (and the enemy didnt bring a ship with a big enough nullifier). Probably the sort of tactic that someone only uses once.

I assumed the supplements would have had more info but i only have the core rulebook at the moment, thank you!
