General Things you are no longer allowed to do in Traveller

[whulorigan]

Have a TL15 regular Imperial Army...

You can't; you would need Imperial Way Stations of some kind scattered about as Military Outposts to do that . . .

 

[Grav_Moped]

According to CT HG 1st edition, you can have both!

Exactly.

 

[Condottiere]

Open to misinterpretation.

I will never again imagine a date with the Zhodani ambassador’s daughter- in the presence of the ambassador.

Is this a posdible mini scenario?

 

[kilemall]

Is this a posdible mini scenario?

Go for it. Pretty much nightmare fuel for me.

 

[mike wightman]

Become a military officer or civilian manager if you are a Zhodani prole, which is allowed in the CT AM...

I will never again imagine a date with the Zhodani ambassador’s daughter- in the presence of the ambassador.

That's most likely the reason behind all the Frontier Wars.

 

[Condottiere]

Presumably, she knows what you want.

And her father knows what you want.

Though, you could point out that an aluminum beanie is the current fashion.

 

[mike wightman]

Hold off an entire Zhodani fleet with one Kinunir class cruiser...

 

[McPerth]

To ignore enemy fighters with your capital ships (at least in MgT1E)

 

[JimCook]

Deliver the Aslan MREs to the K'Kree and deliver the K'Kree MREs to the Aslan. It was an honest mistake, I swear.

 

[bookwyrm]

And her father knows what you want.

Is this the future of psionic shielding?

Using Classic Highguard, face off with a fleet of Imperial 50t Fighters against another fleet of 50t Imperial Fighters. "So, we all need 14+ to hit each other on 2d6? This is going to be a looooong battle."

As a Ref, decide on the direction of the campaign BEFORE the players role up their characters. "Right, for this black ops secret agent campaign I have written, you rolled randomly and all ended up with one term characters with only a single skill each, a botanist, an ex navy admin clerk and a merchant steward. Does anyone have any social, combat or stealth skills at all? No? No-one?....."

That's easy: those are the cover identities! Re-roll each character with the same starting stats but on a different career path that will get them the needed skills.

Or use the MgT trick they have for ship crews, of simply handing out the required-but-missing ship skills to each PC randomly until the group can fly the darn thing. Except with spy skills in this case...
