So perhaps the term "Star Destroyer" is reserved for the largest, most advanced, highly performing, top-of-the-line, Imperial Cruisers currently in service . . . .

Was this actually referred to as "Star Destroyer" somewhere, or in history? "Zerstörer" in German just means "destroyer". "Star" is "stern".

And in A New Hope, Han Solo called them Imperial Cruisers . . .

BTW, here is a list of the ones that are already hosted there: Faraway Sectors: https://travellermap.com/doc/credits#faraway-sectors Also: Referee's Preserve: https://travellermap.com/doc/credits#referees-preserve Apocryphal Data (Including Foreven (Imperium Staple)...

Contact inexorabletash (admin of travellermap) and ask him if he can post your Sector as a "Faraway Sector". There are more than a few homebrew sectors and variant sectors (including versions of Foreven) already hosted on Travellermap. They are generally placed at coordinates "far away" from the...

Are ship missiles necessarily deployable in non-vacuum conditions? Ship Interceptor Missiles (SIMs) are designed for space; they need not necessarily be streamlined - they may have smooth farings or breakaway panels for tube or rack launch, but otherwise have appendages and extensors deployed...

I like the formula. It vaguely reminds me of the old hyperspace approximations for various bodies in the old Ringworld Companion by Chaosium.

Of course, that also sounds conspicuously like famous last words . . . ;)

I think I would base it off of the g-value of Sol at 100D, and recalculate the distance for that value for a 3-4+ MSol singularity, since most stellar-mass black holes are at least that massive. Or is that what you were saying and I misunderstood? In any case, I would not use the Event...

Classic Traveller never said anything about the issue of Neutron Stars or Black Holes and their Jump limits that I am aware of. The issue has not formally been raised prior to recent times. Never use the wiki itself as a source, only the references that it cites. I assume you are alluding to...

Is this alluded to somewhere in a current Mongoose Publications? I am not aware that this has been ever explicitly stated anywhere. Some of the current Mongoose material implied that the 100D rule of thumb does not necessarily apply to compact objects (like Degenerate Dwarfs or Neutron Stars...

Unless what makes up the Great & Lesser Rifts is more than just empty void with sparsely scattered interstellar objects . . . Are there other anomalies or general navigational hazards present that render the Rift crossing difficult except in certain known or well charted regions? That isn't...

So does CT:LBB2 '77 😉

You're thinking of a demi-cannon. ;) That's a hemi-demi-semi cannon.

This is most certainly true. And I wouldn't call that a cash grab, but a recognition of a market for electronic copies of the older editions of everyone's particular favourite flavor, and making a true value deal for what you got with those CDs.
