Amphibian vehicles

These are vehicles able to move on dry surface but also be fully submersible. These so not currently exist in early 21st century, so the TL needs to be adjusted.--61.69.175.62 02:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The entire chart is wrong, as it also says we are supposed to have working fusion power, and flying grav cars. The chart reflects the Traveller technology progression, not the Real World one, unforturantly. Tjoneslo 05:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

GT 4th edition techology progression

If you are adding the GURPS 4th edition Technology levels, make sure to add the "^" for the TL8+ items because of the super science aspects (grav technology in particular). If you read the introduction to GURPS Ultra-Tech (4th edition), Traveller has many TL9 items, many but not all TL10 items, and one or two TL11 items. Plus the 4th edition TL's only go to 12, not 13 or beyond.

So following the Tech Level by Field chart in GURPS Campaigns (p. 512): Transportation: TL12^, Weapons and Armor: TL9^ (with some TL10^), Power: TL9, Biotechnolgy: TL8 with some TL9. And that at the TTL15/16 line, Interstellar wars goes into a longer discussion of this on p. 159 Tjoneslo 20:18, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Military Tech

development contract for "Revolution In Fibre Lasers" (RIFL)... from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/20/northrop_laser_rifl_contract/ Maybe we will see laser rifles someday soon. Boris1558 20:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Are Meson Guns TTL11? Seems to cut across canon, which indicates that Terran Confederation advancement to TTL12 and acquisition of Meson Guns(combined with enhanced jump drives) allowed Terrans to defeat the Vilani Imperium in the Nth Interstellar War.

Query

The left hand side of theses charts contain the columns TTL, G3TL, G4TL with no explanation as to thier meaning.--Matt Stevens 20:05, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I believe they are referring to "Traveller Tech Level", "Gurps 3 Tech Level" and "Gurps 4 Tech Level"... but I could be wrong :)--Lotherius 01:07, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
