I've already thought of a few I want to add that would make it feel a bit more like the old rules... commando and military officer.Unarmored? Not likely. A human character has lifeblood equal to their con score. I don't see a bazooka per se, but for example, a HEAP grenade does 4d6 and a frag grenade does 6d6. So the averages frag grenade does 21 points of damage. This all goes to lifeblood AND stamina if you don't have armor. You will likely be mortrally wounded if you are not wearing armor regardless of level in this system.Pretty much what you are used to. Laser weapons, etc., require big power packs... though once you get to fusion weapons and the like, it tends to be worth it.Still reading through that section -- overall pretty similar to high guard, though it does have standardized components like the old book 1-3 stuff. FWIW, I never thought high guard was that hard. Try MegaTraveller's striker-derived sequence sometime. Anyways, I'll probably post more about this this weekend.There are not fully fleshed out monster, no. There is a section on animal encounters that lets you randomly generate creatures for encounters by the world type. Much like CT, you roll the tpye of creature randomly, and chararacteristics like world gravity and atmosphere helps determine its size and other characteristics. Creature size and type determines it base stats (which are assigned a dice range by size) and attack types, as well as several possible special attack and quality types. A sample encounter table with simplified creature statistics is provided for Regina.</blockquote>
