Traveller High Guard would default at seven.

Unless it has a nuclear warhead, in which case six.

I'm pretty sure at one time or another I've gone over this topic. The primary reason for the given prices are that they are legacies from Classic; the primary cost drivers would be starship capital outlay, mortgage, and operating costs, plus net profit. The real issue tends to be the operating costs...

In the MongoVerse, market segmentation has taken place.

Steerage costs between one fourth to one sixth of a middle passage.

There are other alternatives:

1. Include only a ten percent fuel tank.

2. Build two separate ten percent fuel tanks.

3. Leave the twenty percent fuel tank half empty.

Of course, power plant fuel is in a separate tank.

I know.

Unlike capacitors, I can't grab the jump governor and pull it out.

If it were possible, I could squeeze the default overhead tighter to three tonnes, and reduce the bill of goods by three hundred kilostarbux.

It's got me thinking.

It's quite possible someone else is paying for middle and high passages for the player characters.

It's more of a thought experiment, in the quest to design the cheapest possible jump drive. If the assumption is that the jump governor actually is physically one tonne, and can be removed, highly likely from the five tonne overhead, essentially from a jump drive where the performance wouldn't requi...

It's schizophrenic, though I don't know if this is deliberately so. There is the elimination of the battery option under control of a single gunner, which sorta implies that the writers want to shoehorn in gunners into the turrets. Modern fire control tends to be an automation of the weapon systems,...

If Dungeon and Dragons takes it's tropes from Lord of the Rings, Conan and Dying Earth, Traveller is inspired by Space Viking, Foundation and Dumarest. Dumarest made deep freeze risky, and you could add Space Seed. On the other hand, two years later, Alien made it rather safe, as the crew (and Marin...

It allows such a ship to utilize fuel more efficiently; instead of consuming all fuel when performing a jump, regardless of jump number, the ship will consum...

1. The problem with the current version of the ion drive is that it's too slow for Traveller space travel, in which basket you can chuck solar sailing; outside of very specific use case. Probably great for orbital adjustment for space stations. 2. If you can scale linearly at even a proportion of th...

Might be a more popular past time if there was a conversion table for various components, such as armour and spinal mounts.

It's one of those legacy things that the writers probably picked up from the Great Patriotic War, and players from A New Hope. For the one tonne turret, though not necessarily for the five tonne barbette, it's kinda hard to figure out how to squeeze in a half tonne work station, especially crammed i...

One assumes in it's raw form.

If there is an intermediate stage, you'd have to run it through the purifier twice.

I'd probably install filters.

Jump drive could be similar to Abram's multifuel turbine engine.

Personnel mover; maximum capacity, fire team.
