FFS3

[Libris]

It would be waaay cool if FFS3 could be a hyperlinked document on a web page and available either as a passworded document (like the T20 things) or even free. It would encourage all would be gearheads to design stuff and be able to keep up to date with the latest revisions/errata. This would save distribution costs and I'm sure most T5 gearheads would buy it. Some spreadsheet macros' and some design flowcharts would be good too.

Yeah. Just reverse the order. I'd take the spreadsheet first.

Is there a status for FFS3? Has the same people been refining it since 1998? Anyone?

I would think that if T20's distribution method is successful, T5 supplements which would otherwise be shelved due to lower demand may use this method and actually make it out the door.

I used to think this was a pipe dream, but T20 is making it reality. I'm impressed.

It is an exellent idea to create a third edition for Fire, Fusion and Steel Supplement for Traveller 5th Edition. Hopefully it will include the full list of equations and formulas as a point of quick reference to help create ships and vehicles.

After thinking about it, I suppose it will probably be a refinement of FFS2, incorporating the errata, and perhaps moving the tables around, etc.

It will hopefully also include the full TL range and include all of the systems that were going to appear in a follow on volume (almost all of which were included in MT ).

Zishgirur binerii. I agree with you.
