IMHO Traveller adventures need far more preparation as the players have almost unlimited options. I find myself reliant upon random tables and thinking things up on the fly. Only tightly constrained adventures provide some relief where the GM has a chance of predicting events - what I don't have...

Films are an easier media to consume but often screenplays lack the depth of the originating novels. If the consumer is willing to invest a little more time and effort, IMHO books offer a broader and deeper immersive experience than film. Always good to have options…

I am using FFW as an abstract concept for background noise with occasional interference into my Travellers plans. IMTU FFW has no teeth or impact, borders shifting makes little to no difference. And it seems to me the speed of information travel makes co-ordinated military activity at scale...

Thanks @MongooseMatt good to know. I will continue to purchase FFW content though it will remain unused.

Well that’s my pocket money sorted until the end of time

Doesn't the conversation in this thread render 5FW impossible...?

Would be helpful to know proposed days / times

Nice edit after your original rude and ignorant original response, which neatly illustrates how difficult detection at range is, as opposed to your earlier posts within this thread.

Facile answer and you should do better than be rude and ignorant To passively scan out to the minimum orbit of Pluto assuming a beam width of 0.1 degrees results in an angular distance of ~7.5M km at Pluto. Meaning an object can be anywhere within the 7.5M km arc, the calculation does not...

Ah but you haven’t answered the question asked with the reasonable constraints proposed. What conclusion should I draw?
