Average shipyard is based on what you are trying to build. The average starport might be C, which will skew your non-starship capacity down from something above 10,000 towards 200. For jump capable ships, the average capacity is going to be greater than 25,000, because that is the minimum for a...

Instead of cost of the ship, I use cost of the refit. Much more realistic, in my player's opinions. Still gives effectively two+ days of downtime for each turret changed out, but that is more reasonable than weeks/months.

You could tag paltrysum or ask in the Travellers needed: High Guard thread in the Feedback section. If those are in the plans, the author would be the logical choice for that information.

Close. My Radeux Class 100 tonner can haul 144 tons of cargo along the mains for only ~ MCr1.3 more (18.7). Bonus, it has a real M-Drive, so you don't have to be careful not to use up all your reaction fuel prior to slowing to an orbital insertion vector.

Well, I initially said measured in mm, not one... 5/3 of 3 actually. But then revised to doubling that back to diameter going to up to a cm.

Had me running in circles trying to second guess the math in my head, thirty years after I stopped doing math in my head...

Which is why I only dropped off 3 zeroes in that step. The initial million was a common multiple that could cancel out. OK, found my GCE. You're right. should be 5/3090 x 3000m x 2 I thought I was wrong, but was mistaken.

I prefer to use the simulation of the Italian restaurant.

Cancel out a million from each side. 5/3,090,000 x 3km. 5/3090 x 3 meters when you reduce from km. Then multiple x 2 to get back to diameter, so that would put you up to cm. Pebbles instead of dust.

Nonetheless, if YOU can predict your destination, someone else can as well.

Use radius to give yourself a right triangle. The ratio of the opposite (radius) to adjacent (distance) is constant. Basically, 5/3 of a million times smaller than 3. So millimeters. The sort of dust grains you'd need to filter out in order to detect a comet at 0.1 parsecs.

A ship in jump space cannot turn. If the bubble/entrance forms in the direction of the jump, then detecting the exotic particles (nudges Sig) spewing out may provide the needed clue.

Stealth Jump mod. 14+ to detect the jump. Then you can see if you can track it.

Which means you can pay to eliminate the harder roll.

An inactive reserve field could subtract from the total
