I'm going to have to break down and buy T5 just for all the possible juicy bits in the tool box

IMTU the Jump Grid in the hull creates the bubble about 2 meters out from the hull. J Space only cares about total displaced space not shape. So the J Drive is several parts. a) the hull grid, b) the power distribution & grid control network & c) the jump generator which is typically in the...

Right. IMTU there are no windows and the bridge is where it makes sense based on other components. Warship bridge/CIC is at or near the center of the ship as is other vital things like the P.P. No manned turrets either.

Yes, true. My ship designs put the cargo hold "alone" pretty much. No need to pass through. Intentionally by design

This is SO true. I don't buy games for the artwork. Otherwise I would not have purchased Traveller when it first came out. Or, D&D or, Arduin, or T&T, or, or, or...

There is one. It is not possible to open up J space to any larger volume of craft. Just a physical law of J Space

Yes, I played that back in the 70's

I would think that there would be standardized built in systems lie that.

Perhaps. But having airlocks can just be to speed the process by not having to depressurize and not having to suit up while handling the cargo.

Yes, that would be the way it would have to be. An entire system rather than just airtight metal boxes

This has created (at least in how I extrapolated it) fairly stable interstellar polity boundaries because there is no such limit on non-jump ships. Making system defense ships so much more formidable than jump capable military ships. Trade in the frontier areas isn't as affected as in core...

No, true

I can see that your logic circuits have been removed

In the US if you SOLD something it would be criminal fraud. Jail time. Criminal fraud in the USA is any deceptive scheme to obtain money or property through false pretenses, prosecuted by the government and punishable by fines or imprisonment.

Yep. But you don't get to dictate who is the real fool. Only the market decides that.
