Fuel/Cargo Containers from Deep Space Exploration book

He Who Owns The Canon has his own version of Traveller which bizarrely convoluted and unplayable though it may be is not the source of the massive jump in freight costs between J5 and J6.

Part of the point of drop tanks is to cover large jumps without the need to refuel.
E.g. Reft Sector j6 jump on a J3 ship with drop tanks. No fuel station on the route. No problem. 1st jump on the droppies, 2nd on the internals.

About the prices calculations - we can use that guy's table, but the new forum screwed up the formatting. It might be tough to decipher it.

edit: managed to get part of the costs. It seems balanced for small ships. A 1000 ton freighter (optimized for J6), seems to generate ~8 Mil/run with a monthly cost of ~1 Mil.

edit2: I have no idea how the current prices are set on the table in the core book, especially the J4-J5 shift. And also why the heck LOW passage is more expensive than a basic passage in the J5 and J6.
