Hi,
Here my comments regarding the Technology & Equipment chapter:
- I really like the 5 stages of technology, I consider this system simpler and better than tech levels.
- I had problems with the alphabetical sorting as it confused me (perhaps this is not so much of a problem for a native English speaker). I suggest to put things together that belong together. E.g. in "Armor" sort according to Suits, Armor (sorted according to DB or...) and Enhancements, in "Weapons" according to Firearm, Flamer, Energy, Grenades, ... in "Energy "according to cartritge, cell type,... in "Medical" according to portable/staionary or Burns/Concussion,.... and so on
- The Holographic Sight is superiour to the Laser sight with only a slightly increased cost -> I suggest to give the Laser Sight another advantage (higher OB or U rating?) or remove it (because then its obsolete technology)
- I missed the equivalent of the Machine Gun for Energy Weapons, Flamers,....
- I missed "Force" Shield and Anti-gravity technology descriptions and devices. If they are not available in sizes smaller than a verhicle, I would state it somewhere (or did I overread something?).
- Sometimes the skills needed to operate something are given (esp. for Medical gear), sometimes I wondered (e.g. Laser Torch) -> I suggest to state for every device the skill that is used (where applicable).
