    This assumes the Imperium is going to want to try and make stand at Louzy rather than concentrate it's fleets at Efate and fight a...

    This is where a clear explanation benefits everyone. Many versions of Traveller have assumed the starport listed on the map is THE...

    I think you overestimate the speed of a transport in-atmosphere. Traveller freighters are rarely streamlined and they can't make that...

    Yes. My point was that an unmanned craft will, pretty much by default, kamikaze it's payload into a target because that's how it's...

    Spacecraft destinations will be dictated by a few things, and passengers and cargo will be treated differently (that cargo not being...

    Right, IF you were designing a vessel that was never supposed to have a crew, your allocated spaces for crew, a bridge, quarters, etc...

    Agreed. I think any missile coated with reflec would, at most, take an extra hit to be destroyed. Ideally you engage at longer range...

    That's an entirely reasonable question. Can you spend more credits to give your missiles better defenses? Can you build a missile...
