Muster out equipment, Scientific.

[Janitor_Prime]

Greetings,

GMs and Players what does the benefit "Scientific Equipment" mean to you? What is that equipment? What does it do? What are the modifiers to dice rolls? How much does the starting tech level of that equipment effect these outcomes? Traveller doesn't have the "Amazing Answer Box" associated with Star Trek.

Are you talking MgT2?

A pocket large hadron collider, a pocket chemical synthesis factory, a pocket genetic sequencer...

pocket handwavium.

Sorry I can't be anymore helpful but the mustering out reward is meaningless without parameters, and that is for the author to decideand to tell us what they had in mind.

For the individual referee it could be some king of Star Trek tricorder, a magic box that does any king of scientific analysis you can handwave this session.

All that said page 121 of the MgT 2024 updated, revised 2ed core rule book - as that is the most current version. They are probably to be found in CSC and the earlier iterations of 2e 2016 and 2022

A scientific piece of equipment given to players in the character creation process much as blade, pistol, armor, and cyber implants.

Players and Referees, what has this meant at your table? If it has a value the same as weapons this varies between 10k and 30k credits. What would that be in terms of game play for assisting the science focused PC?

I don't need the book and page number, thank you.
