Right off the bat, the standard drives being linear then none linear at an
arbitrary point. As well as the odd roundings in the performance table. This
one of the problems with MgT, but that goes as supposedly MgT is based off
of a subset of T5.
I Haven't quite set down an perused the playtest doc in a whiles, but in its
fragmentary form it didn't match up with the other materials in the playtest
doc very well.
But as i have said I am treating T5 as a toolkit. using only what is
necessary for my games discarding the drek.
One of the big issues that FF&S had was there was never a good example of
what the standards for electronics where for none TNE commercial ships.
The biggest issue I have is scaling, with that I should explain. There have
been the traditional gaps in Traveller, most notably with
vehicles/starships.
Ok, my brain just seized, I will get back to this......
