Almost all of My statements refer to MgT2, but I apologize for not being more detailed in my post. My question as to if nukes in Traveller were fission or fusion was a general question based off the topic since We were discussing explosives and fusion reactors. Following posts referred to other...

So many comments. lol

YTU so be my guest, but this is entirely the opposite of the idea that Travellers in Traveller are just regular people. If you want minion-style combat, other systems will do this far better than Traveller.

I am not sure your 1 ton of input for 1 ton of output holds up. Yes, it is 1 ton for 1 ton, but it is not equal in value. You could have 1 ton of input of raw materials at 5,000Cr/ton and an output of 50,000Cr per ton. Or 10,000Cr per ton of input and 11,000Cr per ton of output. On average it...

Classic Traveller? So, in other words, they don't actually exist anymore in MgT2. Unless there is a MgT2 source you can cite? Seems like the only rules that exist for them are in editions other than MgT2.

Most settlements TL-12+ already have Nuclear Dampers, so there would be no salvage since there would be no radiation. Less than TL-12 and there is not much to salvage for a TL-12+ civilization to salvage. Think about Us salvaging 1960s technology. We'd be able to melt it down into its raw...

An Enhanced Radiation bomb is just a dirty bomb guys. Don't overthink it. Low-yield explosive (when compared to a nuclear explosion) with lots of radioactive dust to irradiate lots of people. Primarily a weapon of terror and not a very effective battlefield weapon.

This would mean though that no ships or vehicles can have meson communciators, so it is not really an issue. Only things that are not in motion can use meson communications, since the CSC page 65 says this, "Meson transceivers are bulky devices requiring fine-tuning and precise location...

Seems to me to be like a car engine with an alternator. Doesn't have to be providing thrust, but it has to be running.

It was in an episode of the show. Kaylee says if the engine stops then they have no power and no power means no life support.

Every day, so perhaps it being smarter than Me is not all that surprising...:P

So, functionally, game-wise, there is no real difference? Thank you.

Are nuclear missiles in Traveller fission or fusion?

Ummm... The highport is usually the most expensive real estate in a star system. So, you can say, no inventory tax, but that won't pay your rent on the warehouse space, especially if it is in the highport. See? Now you have pointed out another problem. If I build My own jump drive, it will cost...

<------- Also too dumb to be a Hiver. :P
