I look forward to the day when the 'Tigress' will be offered!

Looking at the stats from CT Supp9 this 'CA' is really not that 'hot'.

Sure it's TL15 but it must've come into service early in the IN's transition from TL14 to 15 after the end of the SolRimWar cuz' it's really not much better than TL14.

Only 5-G & Agil5? No 'meson' spinal? And, the real killer, only a Factor-5 'meson' screen!

Probably considered obsolescent by now (1111).

More like an improved 'A-HighLightning', which actually has a higher rated 'meson' screen, than a front-line vessel & probably used similarly.

Whoever did the designs for CT Supp9 mustn't've been very familiar with CT LBB HighGuard combat rules.

It sure didn't take me very long to realize that 'meson' guns were 'THE BIG ONES' in that combat system! And a Factor-9 'meson' screen was a critically indispensable component.

Looking at CT Supp9, 'meson' screens seem to be almost an afterthought, (The 'Plankwell' BB only has a '3' screen while even the mighty 'Tigress' only has a '7'!), just tacked on to use up excess EP's, rather than the primary importance they should have.

Subject: [CotI] The Last Day for Element Class Cruisers…

In planning for this coming out, I decided I wanted my adventurers to have the use of the Element-class Cruiser: Dysprosium, the stepchild of the fleet. Actually, I needed to look it up to be sue. Haw many of you could say with surety that Dysprosium was an element and not a made-up word. Anyway,

The Kickstarter for the Element Cruiser Blueprints box set has just over a day to run, and it has come a long way. Fortunately, there is still time for you to dive in and scoop a great deal: 

 

https://www.kickstarter.com/ projects/1990654819/traveller- rpg-element-class-cruisers- box-set

 

This box set provides three classes of cruisers, along with scale blueprints, all in more detail than Traveller has ever gone into before. Diving into this set, you will be able to immerse yourself in the workings and functions of this family of cruisers, bringing a massive warship into your campaigns.

 

The Kickstarter has successfully passed stretch goals, expanding the content of this set - the main book detailing the cruisers now has an increased page count, a whole new book showing you how to play naval/bridge crew style campaigns has been added and, this morning, a complete bridge crew adventure was reached, allowing you to dive straight into this new type of campaign.

 

There is still time to dive in and scoop up this box set, which will take pride of place on any Traveller's shelf!
