Tech Level Conversion

[TheBrain]

Just a quick question regarding the differnt tech level system in GURPS Travller. Does anyone know how they translate into the TLs used in the other versions?

It's been a while since I've seen the GURPS Traveller rules, but isn't there a conversion table in the book?

Do you want a conversion of Traveller TLs to GURPS 3rd edition TLs or the slightly different GURPS 4th edition scale?

GURPS Traveller to CT/T20 tech levels please. My group uses T20 and recently I aquirred several GT sourcebooks I plan to mine for ideas.

Here you go:

0 1-3
1 4
2-4 5
5-6 6
7 7
8 8
9-11 9
12-13 10
14 11
15 12
16 13</pre>[/QUOTE]

Keep in mind however, that either GURPS playtesters goofed with that Tech level progression, or they decided deliberately to violate the one to one conversion aspect of Traveller Tech levels to GURPS tech levels. Specifically, you can have Meson Technology at Traveller Tech level 11, but not at GURPS traveller tech level 9 (which includes Traveller Tech level 11). Either they should have stated that GURPS Tech is Traveller tech levels 9 & 10, and made GURPS traveller Tech 10 = to 11, 12, & 13, or they should have introduced a "Late TL 9" Meson gun platform for GURPS TRAVELLER: STARSHIPS.
