Hello all,

I used The Traveller's Digest 43 "A MegaTraveller Starship Design Example" by Joe D. Fugate Sr. to step through the MT Referee's Manual Craft Design procedure adding the material from the MT Consolidated Errata v2.21. On page 23 there this entry:

1. "Page 73, Step 9, Turrets, Mixed Weaponry (clarification): The craft design tables for turrets on pages 73 and 74 list the values for one weapon of the type installed in the turret. If you want to create a turret with mixed weapons, simply select the single weapons you want."

I've looked through the MT errata trying to find any further in formation on other requirements without any success. The entry in the errata suggests adding mixed weaponry turrets was make the MT Craft Design sequence compatible with the details provided in CT LBB5 High Guard 2nd edition (HG2) on pages 29 and 30.

A. "HG2 page 29:On ships 1,000 tons and under mixed turrets (weapons of different types in the same turret) are allowed; in such cases, each weapon is a battery."

In a mixed dual turret or a mixed triple turret with three different weapons installed I agree that each weapon is a single battery as indicated in the requirements found on HG2. Unfortunately, I have disagreed with the requirement when two CT HG2 Beam Lasers have been installed in a mixed triple turret. A TL 7 to 12 Dual Beam Laser turret's UCP is 2, from TL 13 to 15 the UCP is 3, and at TL 16+ the UCP is 4.

B. "HG2 page 30: On ships with more than 10 turrets, weapons may not be mixed."

The limitation of being limited to 10 mixed weaponry turrets is one that I'm okay with.

2. I know that I've asked for help on how to handle mixed weapons on Citizens Of The Imperium when calculating UCP on a target and I went in search of the material to refresh my memory. Unfortunately, I'm not finding the notes that I made and copied in to a folder on my computer or the folder with the paper copies I made as a backup.

A hull mounts 10 x TL-10 mixed weaponry turrets equipped with one missile launcher, one beam laser, and one sandcaster. Would aiming the 10 mixed turrets beam lasers on a single target be handled as 1 UCP from 10 Beam Lasers or as UCP 5?
