MGT Only: New book decision

[ArcaneFlash]

It looks like I've been drug into starting a new Campaign.

I Have the following FFE sets. (reference)

201 - Twilight 2000
230 - 2300AD
270 - JotTAS
271 - CT
272 - MT
275 - TNE
Various volumes of T4
T5 core rules Flash Drive

That being said, I like the reference. But this is going to be mainly a MgT campaign. I have TMB, HG, Sup 2: Traders and Gunboats. Sup 3: Fighting Ships, Sup 5-6, Spica CB 1-2 and Gold Age of Starships 1-5.


Mongoose having a ebook sale. Trying to figure a couple books to supplement. Looking at Merchant prince and Trillion Credit Squadron (if the extra ship equipment is worth it.)

Any recommendations? Can I get away with previous versions of a Central supply Catalogue?

What is your campaign focus? Trillion Credit Squadron is a good book, but it is not what you think it is. It is a new game unto itself, with only a relatively small portion dedicated to ship upgrades.

I can help you out, but I have to know what you are hoping to do with your campaign.

Well, I have always liked to design ships. I liked Mt's ship design process but ship combat always confused me.

Mgt has decent Char gen and for the most I can live with the ship system. Also my group is very green but enthusiastic to start playing, so I didn't want to throw too much at them. So, any ideas on using MT ship designs using MgT Ship Combat?

But, They want to be adventurers. So, they like the idea of running a special mission force/"undercover when necessary" team from a mothership. Or Explorers. One idea was running around like Indiana Jones/Han Solo.

I'm starting them out on the first option. But it definately won't be a standard 3i campaign.

As for TCS, I was mainly interested in new ship systems.

Merchants had a lot of appeal for new careers.

 

[Disco Soup]

Merchant has a really solid spacer career. Scout is great for this sort of thing too. A green group means that I really would not recommend TCS just yet.

 

[Disco Soup]

Merchant, Scout or Scoundrel.

 

[ArcaneFlash]

Since they are a special mission team. I thought I would build a small squadron as a mobile base of operations. But I still have CT's version of Trillion credit Squadron.

 

[ArcaneFlash]

Okay, I have the CT TCS. but I can't seem to find out what the new spacecraft equip is in the MgT version. Is it anything like was in B5? Is the new equipment any good?
