What would be really cool would be the chance to design your own
vehicles with something like FF&S. The only thing I'd want to
seriously revisit would be the computer system rules, RPV rules,
and the rules for robot "brains", since real technology has
developed a bit differently than they assumed. I think you'd
have a tough time doing something like the remote-controlled
weapons mount on the Stryker using the stock FF&S rules, for
example, though I haven't tried.

Subject: [Traveller_TNE] Armor XXI
From: Jake
Dave,
I've always been a military-oriented Traveller gamer, right from
the first time I picked up LBB4, and back in the day I looked
with intrigue at the adverts for Armor XXI in 'Challenge'.
Whatever happened to it? I always assumed it was unfinished due
to the great CCG extinction event. But maybe you took it to the
Army? Did it turn out to be any good?
I'm still at the military end of the Traveller spectrum, despite
the sneers of some who castigate "bloodthirsty Star Vikings".
Just gearing up to replay Scenario Two from TNE/Striker-II: the
Dawn League hot drop onto Vezina in 1199.
I love FF&S and regularly use it to design new equipment for
Striker-II. With Roger we've gone through a few of the WTF?
features in FF&S trying to fix them. If you ever do get your
FF&S revision out of storage, you'll have a very keen set of
eyeballs here!
