    Salaries like that get tricky because a merchant is not going to want a highly skilled crew for normal cargo - it will skew his profit...

    phavoc posted the thread Starship operations reality vs expectations in Traveller.
    I'm a bit of a train nerd (real trains), so I follow things like average speeds of trains. I was looking at the latest STB data that...

    phavoc replied to the thread Drop Tanks... Back From the Dead?.
    I dunno, but this whole discussion thread seems like crib notes for rules lawyers on ways to get around the rules. Traveller rules are...

    MegaTraveller SOM introduced the jump bubble term, but they used it as a bubble of normal space maintained by the jump cable network in...

    phavoc replied to the thread UWP and the Imperial Population.

    I'm not sure anything could survive the pressure. Perhaps if you could adjust an AG generator to project some sort of bubble? And...

    phavoc replied to the thread UWP and the Imperial Population.
    This is a good example of a different system. While required by law in the US, enforcement is rare. It's done mostly by mail, so if...

    phavoc replied to the thread UWP and the Imperial Population.
    It would have to be done by the individual planet, and checked by others (not scout service). Since the Imperium is supposed to be like...
