On Target. My Trav ref loved it and us players hated it. It really slowed down combats and did we really need to roll damage after getting someone in the eye with a Gauss rifle?

Alien Star magazine done a simpler system that was more like 2300AD.

CT, its just beautiful man, beautiful...

Buy an LBB for 5-7 dollars, have loads of fun...

Its all good.

If you got hang ups over vehicle combat, or task systems, blame the referee for not being creative.

I was reading somewhere, some guy was saying he didn't like CT cause you couldn't figure out what happens when a starships laser hits a grav vehicle.
!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?! ?

Ok guy, what do you THINK is going to happen when a big *ss laser cannon hits a grav vehicle!?!?!?!?!
Come ON, people. A little intelligent thought, please.

My reasons are many.
Here are the main ones:

Simplicity.
Easy to learn rules system. Even more simple than basic D&D back in those days. AD&D, now your'e getting esoteric. Remeber the 1st Edition DMG? Also you didn't need all the dice D&D did, just 2d6 mostly.

Versitility.
I started playing in the mid 80's, but I only had the basic books at that time. I had very little background material. But CT was so versitile that you could build your own universe gathering ideas from movies and books.

Enjoyability.
CT was, and still is, a joy to run and play. Other versions have come and gone and I have played and GM'ed all of them, but I still remember those classic adventures and turn them loose on the GURPS and T20 people.

I've only just started collecting the CT reprints, and i know it sounds wierd but the system still feels modern to me [img]smile.gif[/img]

Admittedly there are little bits like using computers tapes as my good buddy Alias pointed out (he's on here somewhere [img]smile.gif[/img] )

I supose i have to say that the LLB's (and my reprints) are LUUUSSH
