A drop ship (to get down the chimneys)

An idea I've toyed with is that if a ship is heading off to areas less well presented by her bank the said bank sends their own representative along for all/part of the voyage. Also, I could see the Starport Authority acting as agents for the various banks on backwater systems.

I prefer warp drive IMTU. The warp rating is the Jump rating and there is the same fuel requirement (for wibbly-wobbly techy reasons to do with inflating the warp bubble?) The difference is in how the drive can be used. Each level of Jump becomes a level of Warp Maximum warp speed is Warp level...

I had to chuckle at the mistype on that chart "feudal democracy"

Sorry, a little bit of a tangent, but is there any relationship between GDW's Imperium from back in the day and Twilight Imperium currently available (apart from the title there's a lion-like alien on the cover that screams Aslan to me)

Nice

Is this reasonably transferable to other parts of Charted Space?

It also depends whether the players own the ship or are part of the crew. The Skandersvik adventure (campaign?) works nicely without the PCs being in command of the whole ship.

And Mongoose's more lore-centric books will still be attractive to 5E customers.

Has there been a marked increase in smuggling into the US this year? It's certainly an opportunity to research this theory

the Min of Col base is just a cover to research the pyramids

I went in a different direction for MTU. I want to be able to use all the cool stuff but keep things in a smaller area. I generally stick to Glisten and D268. However, I interpret the Government type in the UWP very differently: Traveller Government Code No of worlds in Marches 268 G Total...

Yep and call for help wasn't a well regarded answer either - though it made sense to me

Let's not forget TEWT - tactical Exercise without Troops and NEWD - Night Exercise Without Darkness

I sometimes think it's easier to think of a world's TL as a measure of its wealth. Granted you have to explain all the poor worlds who can't afford stuff instead.
