"...Starships, aircraft, and vehicles, in almost infinite variation, are at your command, from fusion-power grav tanks to advanced technology lighter-than-air ships, from gigantic armored star cruisers to delicate ornithopters. Pick your power plants from a selection that ranges from primitive steam engines to matter-antimatter annihilation, with side excursions to solar power, batteries, explosive power generation, or even cold fusion.
Tired of just playing with jump drives? Tailor your campaign around a wide selection of FTL options, from natural wormholes to stargates, stutterwarp, or hyperspace drives. Or if FTL is too advanced for you, conquer space the hard way, with Bussard hydrogen ram jets or Daedalus thermonuclear pulse drives. The cybernetics chapter alone has dozens of entries and provides a rich basis for adding cybernetic enhancement to any science fiction game.
Weaponry isn't slighted either. Rules and supporting data enable you to design small arms, conventional cannons, gauss weapons, plasma and fusion weapons, lasers, particle accelerators, meson guns, missiles, and more. Or counter them with reactive armor, electrostatic armor, meson screens, or nuclear dampers..."

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Toolkit For Any SFRPG fan,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fire, Fusion, & Steel: Technical Architecture (Traveller: The New Era) (Paperback)
More so than SJG's Ultra Tech books, Fire, Fusion & Steel is an excellent toolkit for any science-fiction roleplaying gamer(not just Traveller fans), giving you the nuts and bolts of everything from gauss rifles to starships, allowing you to build them from the ground up.
It is a bit dated where the technology is concerned(no nanotech), but one can easily adapt nanotechnology and other advances to the technical arhictecture presented in FF&S.
