Vehicle Question

[First Age]

I find myself in the unexpected position of returning to run some Traveller and have been evaluating T4 as opposed to my usual MT variant. I'm currently looking at all the QSDS Mayday 4.1 and other errata and tweaks to put together the system that I want.

Returning to the T4 rule book I have a couple of questions on vehicles.

1. I can't find superstructure numbers anywhere. What happens when a PC shoots his autorifle at a car? Is theer an errata somewhere that explains what happens. I can only find an Armour value...

2. Is some of this answered in 'Emperors Vehicles'? Is this PDF worth buying?

Thanks for your help - I may ask some more questions soon.

Cheers

The vehicles rules are in Emperors' Vehicles.

Which I don't have.

Nope, Emperor's Vehicles only has lots of vehicle descriptions, plus some info at the back about the standard vehicle format card.

Can't find anything about superstructure, but I may have missed it...

Central Supply Catalogue has the vehicle construction rules (unless you want to use FF&S that is ), but I don't remember superstructure numbers being mentioned in either one.

I'll have to go and dig them out to be sure though.

The answer I now discover is in the Central Supply Catalogue p.75. You apply any damage that gets through armour as a modifier to a 2D roll. 12+ and you affect the location performance, 14+ and it goes boom.

I just got the PDF from Drivethrough, and looks a fairly useful resource if you amble down the tortuous route of T4...

That cost me $7. You owe me...

Anyone out there GMing with T4 (or T4.1/T5)?

I will be in just over a week having got chatting to a guy at work who has been playing since 1978! He mentioned really liking T4 which promted me to give it another read. I'd always liked chargen and combat but hated the task system. That said, I have played it a few times and the system works better than you might think. My re-read confirmed the bits I liked, especially Emperor's Arsenal!

But I digress. I'm runing "Delta 3 is Down" monday week and have decided to just play the rules as written to see how it goes.
