They matter in an economic (mainly in a time-wise) sense. For a J-1 to cross a J-5 gap, it first needs to be able to carry an additional two J-1 fuel loads with it, and then jump to the first rift hex, drop a cache, jump back. Then it does this again, leaving 2 caches at Hex 1. Then it does this...

Interesting to note too that the first contact between the Zhodani and Vilani was circa -2000; to quote directly from Alien Module 4 - Zhodani, Page 8: And if you're going with GURPS Traveller: Humaniti (Pg.7), circa -2200: Geir's point that the Vilani would likely get their knickers in a...

Refer to Page 126 of the VHB26:

For what it is worth, the WBH also states mass influences it. The article on Jump Drives MWM wrote for the original JTAS also mentions that. They all point out that the 100D limit is a "rule of thumb" to ensure safe jumping, as a Watsonian (in-universe) explanation. The Doylist explanation, as...

Such trifle details as "having" or "not having" a driver's license are ultimately irrelevant if Freebird is playing on the sound system, your honour.

Found one little mistake, and one thing that may or may not be a mistake but which I think bears clarifying. First, the little mistake: Page 110, Direct Fire Weapons; That should read "(...) generally not trained in the Heavy Weapons (artillery) skill, nor (...)". And now what I feel needs...

If you're taking suggestions, something which I think will make for a good addition and should not be too hard to implement is adding a "solar day" readout to planets, in addition to the sidereal day (rotation period) already listed. (Just need to remember to add an error-catcher for 1:1...

A small but obvious one, on page 4: Not any more it doesn't, I'm afraid :p To spare you and the Mongeese the counting, it should read either "over 30" or "36 vehicles".

As the writer of that article, I can positively confirm this was very much intentional.

That would be Page 123 of T5.1 Core Book 2: Starships, codified in the table replicated below: The short story Names by Marc Miller also has this featured along with some juicy details about the fabled Black Ships. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me find the link to were it was hosted...

I'm looking forward to this! I do actually think that the idea of Charisma can be reconciled with real canid pack dynamics, which are just a subset of fission-fusion societies (which chimpanzee groups also are, hence why the mahen'do'sat feel similar, as CordwainerFish pointed out). It'd...

Oh lord, I'm still working my way through Act 2... I'll try to pick up pace!

This is truly fantastic. I've long thought of making an application such as this myself but it was always bumped down my priority list. The one "core" feature I feel is missing from it is some sort of date-setter; being able to select the current date on the map, be that by counting up days...

I don't have any charts handy, but I do happen to have a draft manuscript explaining the various different aspects of the UWP, including the economic section, which might be helpful to you: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_7KVNwem_IKsn2Bu1gXc5IvXfvHIWpvREY-ZX6eZVFg/edit?usp=sharing

Righto! I've finished reading Act 1 back-to-back, so here's my notes on it. As per usual, entries with [?] appended are ones I'm not sure if there's actually been a mistake. Page 4, 8th Paragraph: "(...) and then makes a rough transition into another comms call as he continues to stroll down...
