Black Globes were in fact on the Kinunir in the original adventure
published
by GDW.

Thanks, Robert. It's been quite awhile since I browsed the booklet,
never
played the adventure, and constantly complain of mature moments anyway.

The reference to 'BG1' is curious, though. It sounds like they may be
doing
a scale or level system similar to other defenses, but I thought black
globes came in only one variety, though you could vary the
effectiveness.
Wasn't the stutter-shutter effect to allow heat dissipation and outbound
shots?

Sorry if this sounds OT but the rules ARE so close to FT FB2 that it
seems
a comprehensive variant, and very usable for extensions in regular FT
vector games.

In Dominic's own words from the Welcome To Power Projection,
'...ironically, the changes we made to increase the Traveller feel ended
up
with rules that similar are to the Full Thrust: Fleet Book 2
corrections,...'

I always assume you end up sharing ideas accidently via shared play
testers. ;->=
