Description
Infini-V
(164 KB)
An extensive implementation of the vehicle design rules presented in the Imperium Games' Central Supply Catalog. As well as performing all the difficult calculations, the software provides the ability to export the resulting design as HTML or text for use in other packages. Allows weapon designs to be added and edited. The software is only available for the Macintosh at present, but is currently being ported to the PC. Previously available as the freeware alpha release 'CSC', this software should load CSC v1.3n files.

The software implements the system generation rules from all previous versions of Traveller, including the modified routes from the Alien Modules. Includes language generation for world names.

QSDS
(92 KB)
An implementation of version 1.5 of the QSDS starship design system from Marc Miller's Traveller. This software operates in the same way as Infini-V, allowing a referee to design a ship up to 5000 dT through the use of pull down menus, and allows final export of the design as Text or HTML in the USD ship card format from the main rule book. (QSDS was written by Guy Garnett, and may be found in the Missouri Archive (run by Joe Heck) as an Acrobat file). It is not planned to update this software to incorporate the 'Big Hulls' document at present, but if demand is high enough Rob will consider it.
