A few automation scripts to make Traveler RPG game play a little more streamlined. The scripts should try to remain reletively transparent where scores are coming from so that they can be validated manually, step-by-step.
Note: All scripts have a help section that is visible by appending --help to the end of any command. e.g. trav --help will list trav scripts trav passengers --help will show help for the passengers script.
Notice how in this case steward level is set to 0, this means that the player can take either 2 high passengers or 5 middle passengers. After rolls for passenger availiability, we see that there are 3 high passengers and 11 medium passengers. Instead of dumbly taking as many high passengers as possible ( in this case two, for a total profit of 1200CR ), the script smartly calculates the most lucrative combination. In this case the most profitable option is to take 5 medium passengers for a total profit of 1500CR.
Command:
./trav passengers --current "Agricultural" --destination "Water world, Rich" --dm 4 --staterooms 10 --low-berths 20 --steward-level 0
Output:
