    They aren't flying bricks, but they are also not streamlined enough to make the speeds that MasterGwydion posted. The first issue is...

    I can't, and won't, argue with a book that doesn't follow the actual rules of aerodynamics. The book(s) can say what they want, but I...

    I'm talking actual streamlining, the kind that a high-speed aircraft needs in order to fly. I know what the book says, and one look at...

    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...

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

    I'd assumed that since we were referencing GURPS Starports that we'd have continued in that same thread. On pages 14-15 it clearly...

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

    At what size does it become more than a missile? Is 10 dtons still a missile? If it is, should PD laser batteries have a damage rating...
