I have Traveller's Aide 7 and 9 Imperial and Solomani ships. Would there be any issues with me converting some ships to PP Fleet for gaming purposes? Don't want to wake up with a horse's head on my bed or similar.
Cheers. Have done. To my non-legal brain it appears I can use the ships data. Ships in the Image Gallery.
Hi,
You can use P.P.: Fleet conversion rules for EVERY ship in the CT cannon..On pages 56-59 of power Projection : Fleet you will find conversion tables.........All you need are the High Guard statistics for the ship .
I've done the conversions for the Gazelle close escort and the Vargr corsair.
What is, "power projection"?
All vector systems have the overshoot problem. You get used to thinking ahead fairly quickly. I've seen a player spend a game wildly overshooting his effective ranges and frantically coming back around only to do it again, and then be enthusiastic about trying it again once he figured out what he did wrong. It's like giving your brain a massage with spaceships and explosions and math.
PP:Fleet is still in print and available in limited quantities from Ad Astra:

That's what I expect to happen in space battles by using acceleration drives (against speed ones, with chieve constant speeds, as warp drives would be).
I've often compared with medieval jousts, where the knights rode against each other, made their lace attack and stoped at some distance for anothr pass (of course, unless hteir opponent was down).
