Hey CosmicGamer, So, basically the scenario is this. There's a space station out in the big empty and it's being dismantled. The space station is actually a number of smaller science vehicles retrofitted to a very old space station belonging to an unknown alien race. The space station is...

It feels like someone on the ground would have the capability of knocking a ship out of the sky. A 5 ton missile with a 10G thrust ought to do the trick. The problem here is that, in reality, every combat technology is generally met with its defense. Someone, in the long history of Traveller...

Oops. I think I hit a nerve. Some of these arguments seem to have been going on for awhile. I think I'm going to switch my adventures to the "it's kind of science" level of realism.

I'm new to Traveller, but honestly, I'm not sure why systems would allow ships to zip around at near light speed near their planets. I mean, you're going half the speed of light, someone disables your capacity to decelerate in space combat, aren't you pretty much a giant fusion bomb moving at...

In spirit, yes, and the answer is very helpful. Unfortunately, I'm still a bit in the dark. I'm planning an adventure where a prison ship has had a mutiny while passing a space station. The captain comes to a full stop so as to leave the ship hanging in space with red alert klaxons going...

I think I understand the basics of space travel. Thrust is not speed, it's G, so it's acceleration. The assumption being, and I might be wrong here, that you thrust up to max speed and then you stay there. A high thrust ship gets to max speed faster than a low G ship, but once there, they are...
