Explain Computers to me!

[Tarondor]

Thanks. Those are excellent answers and I can visualize it now.

I don't understand the differences between the various ratings of computers. What do they mean and what can they do?

In a related question, one of my PC's has a laser pistol with an integral computer-0. What can that do?

Thanks!

AB-101...He even had a "laser carbine"...read as a laser welder built into his right [?] arm...he was kinda cool in a macho 3po kinda way.

Actually...that's incorrect! There's a very famous one, created by DGP, and featured in every main adventure in the Traveller's Digest.

At least, I think he was a TL 16 android. It's been a while...

He had a real "Star Wars" type name, too, like AB or something like that.

Anybody remember him?

AB-101 (AKA Sir Abe Wan Owen). It (he) also appears as example of pseudo-bio in CT:LBB8 Robots. It (he) is TL 15, not 16.

Yes, and modified by the Hivers at one point, but that's after design...

I think that points out a need for negative DMs for cross TL hijacking...:devil:
