Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1977. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint. Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.
I can't speak for everyone else, but I've been away for a couple months now because of the one asshole who parked his fat butt in the thread like he owned it and when called out for shitting on newbies for asking newbie questions, said basically "this ain't a hugbox, if you can't handle it, get out!" And I was like, sure, I COULD handle it, but why in the fuck should I? So I went elsewhere, figuring eventually he'd get tired of talking to himself and jabba his hutt away, and we could start over without him. Seeing the multiple short-lived threads while skimming the archive yesterday, it looks like maybe it worked?

possibly?

so one of my players got himself some combat armour, do i just have the feeling or is it really a walking bunker? using cepheus ruleset, haven't yet converted any mongoose stuff... should i borrow the armour piecing rules?
Benjamin Peterson
If you want? It's not really a walking bunker, just get a bigger weapon pointed towards him

Sorry to hurt your feeling but it didn't, snowflake.
>should i borrow the armour piecing rules?
Why not? If your players up-gun you need to do the same. Don't be afraid to use law levels and common sense to deal with their combat armor too. Just as with carried weapons, your players shouldn't be wearing combat armor while popping down to the 7-11 for a pack of smokes.

Welp, nevermind then. Eventually I hope you'll get the message that even here on the armpit of the internet, you're still an asshole and nobody wants to talk to you. Have fun being the only guy left in the thread!

Anybody who walks around in TL 14 armor is going to be suspect to a lot of questions and glances. There's nothing wrong with letting your players feel powerful though, as long as they aren't getting bored.
