I've been debating on creating a rather hard scifi ATU Traveller game based around the colonisation of Mars, based on the success of a moon base being set up. The game is going to be set around the 2050s.
Now, I wanted to build up new ships with reaction drives, something that could reach Mars in a month, probably looking at a 3G+ vessel with fuel not determined yet.
Now, I remember in Chthonian Stars there was the Transit Drive, which was a pulse drive which was theorised to boost to 9G at such lengths over it's week of activity (on average 20 seconds per hour, not sure how the pulses were distributed length and gap wise aside from that amount) to chunky salsa stow-away rats and needed the use of a Grav-couch by ship crews to also not get pasted to the wall behind them.
I am looking at a ship that will either be accel/decceling for long amounts of time (counted in minutes) and have a thrust probably 3G+.
I wondered how much I can push the thrust of a ship before I start to press my crews into salsa on the walls behind them and for how long?
Thanks guys
