How is starship combat treated in Traveller 5? This is my biggest bug bear about the various editions.
I think CT has a great system if you want to play it on your own over an evening but its a bit useless for group gameplay unless you like miniatures combat.
Whereas I felt Mongoose was too complicated and like all of Mongoose stuff very confusing - having to go backwards and forwards between sections looking at stuff to figure out the gameplay which is something that ruins all the Mongoose stuff.
So how does T5 do it? Is there a simple list that you run through to carry out the combat sequence? And is it simple enough that it doesnt take a whole session just to do one round?
