Re: Are GURPS Tech Books released in wrong order / badly planned?
Heh. I've always wanted to figure out how to do an orbital mechanics sim that would show current and future position of all objects (some sort of curve or line of dots), so you get an intercept course by arranging for your ship's dot in some future turn to correspond to the right target dot, but not sure how you make something like that into a readable display.

Re: Are GURPS Tech Books released in wrong order / badly planned?
I think the problem UT has (if it has an overall problem) is that the scope and scale of the subject matter is far larger than HT & LT. So yes maybe it fails to achieve its goals as successfully as the other two, but then it's goals were a lot harder.
I like the idea of UTC's especially as it would seem to fit in with taking certain aspects of technology and drawing them through TL9-12 (and corresponding super science lens as well). |
