Talk:Trade classification

UWP Format for Trade Classifications

I've reaaranged the TC and Remarks page a bit, so that it flows in the same way as you'd find them in a UWP. I've also included links to LBB6 and MT:RM, although these may need to be altered so they point to the right page - I'll do this myself if I have time to find (or create) the required pages.

New MGT Trade Classifications

MGT (Mongoose) has a few new Trade Classifications, and some changes to the old ones as compared to MegaTraveller.

• Ga Garden World, did not exist in MT.
• Ht High-Tech, did not exist in MT.
• In Atmosphere 3 not considered Industrial in MGT, it was in MT.

This seems to make an assumption that an Industrial world would taint the atmosphere.

• Lo Worlds with 0 Pop not Considered Low Pop in MGT (1-3 MGT, <3 MT)

This may be because a world with nobody on it is zero pop? Not sure why.

• Lt Low-Tech, did not exist in MT.
• Ni <6 in MT, MGT is 4-6.

Not certain on this one, assuming a low enough population has to have some level of industry to sustain themselves, usually from off world?

• Ri MT Also requires Government 4-9

MGT assumes people can be rich under any government type.

MGT vs. MT Trade Classifications

Most tools use the old MT format rather than the newer MGT formats. In the Spreadsheets I'm working on for processing sector data, I'm going to include an option to toggle between formats - but I thought it might need to be noted here about the differences. --Lotherius 03:12, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
