[QUOTE="barasawa, post: 7779327, member: 44909"] I don't want to say bad things about T5, but I do feel people should have an idea of what they are probably jumping into. A friend and I have looked at some of the T5 files. We both agree that it's more than we want to deal with. It has complex tables and mathematical formulas scattered throughout the files we saw. (Only had the time to look through a few of them.) The organization was also rather insufficient with things in one page might need you to look at another page somewhere else when they seemed to us to be things that should be together. Hopefully the kickstarter version will have taken care of that at least. We'll just continue with Cepheus or Mongoose Traveller v2. I do hope they are successful, but I'm not going to risk the kickstarter. I'll wait until after it's out and someone I know gets it so I can see if it's been cleaned up and streamlined enough to feel comfortable again. Of course if math and having to look up a lot of stuff doesn't bother you, this might be a good one for you. For the rest, try Cepheus or the Mongoose versions of Traveller, preferably version 2. Both can be found on Drivethrurpg.com and they are fairly compatible with each other and for the most part, even classic Traveller. (As to differences in ship stats, we just hand wave it as variations from different manufacturers, or even the results of refits and repairs over the years.) [/QUOTE]
