Yes.

It did, into normal space as either coolant or fusion products.

Shame the book authors didn't ask for help with tracking stuff like this down,,, :)

In CT there was wiggle room. Life support machinery could be part of the bridge and each stateroom. In MT the bridge disappeared, life support and gravitics becomes individually accounted for systems

Yup, I'm not taking any notice of hydrogen filled jump bubbles because they contradict setting canon and are not part of T5 either. In the DGP SOM it was a bubble of normal space, no mention of hydrogen bubbles. This was misunderstood by a T4 author and fanon became canon. TNE FF&S says this...

Umm, no, heat and entropy are different things. 2nd law S is entropy, Q is heat energy, T is temperature The heat radiated from a cooling radiator can be used as a communication device. All you need to do is change the coolant flow rate to vary the amount of heat radiated and you can do...

If you can radiate gravitational waves you have a mechanism for removing waste heat (I am not giving up on this)

It may have been something mentioned in one of the many drafts of T5 that Rob got to see, he saw a lot of stuff that has been cut from the publicly available T5 books.

My aim is to maintain some connection with Traveller canon but update in light of known and handwavium physics. So first of all we need a much greater understanding of the weak interaction and strong interaction - Sci Fi TL11 is where electroweak interactions become manageable. We can...

I've updated the OP - I posted it and then had to go do stuff.

Now that the SoM is out one of the things I have noticed is the use of TL12 damper technology to revolutionise the tech paradigm. The meson gun appears at TL11, but the modern consensus is that what we understand as mesons are not involved At TL12 the meson screen becomes possible, nuclear...

Well for one thing your grav plates and acceleration compensation wouldn't lose effectiveness as you move away from planets if they are coupled with the background rather than the source the m-drive is coupled with. Otherwise the question can be asked - why are lifters/null grav modules short...

Never seen that game but it does have radio communication? So ships and aircraft can communicate "instantly", gather intelligence and report it "instantly", send reserves to an ongoing battle etc.

Is there any chance of you selling the FFE cd/thumbdrive collections? Or the big floppy books as pod or a reprint run?

Imagine a game of FFW with three game boards and a referee. You know what your fleets have been ordered to do, the referee is the only reveals what happens after a few turns of comm lag. A sector admiralty actually has no control beyond sending assets to certain subsectors and then allowing...

Just had a thought, what if gravitics are coupled with the universal gravitational wave background... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave_background

Back to the question where to put the highport for Earth. You place it in orbit around the sun in the same orbit as the Earth at 100D from the Earth.

I really don't see how. You can only send ships out with orders, you can't change those orders without sending a courier backwards and forward. When you arrive at the destination system any intelligence you have about it is at least a fortnight out of date, probably longer.

It's a great book, I highly recommend it.

Errata? page 195 "Nuclear dampers too shortranged and weak for ship defence are also used in antiradiation treatments in well-stocked TL10 medical bays." Shouldn't that be TL12?
