HG 1e pp. 41-42 Heat and Radiation Shielding TL?

No limitation given, hence always available.

The minimum for starships is TL9 (jump drive).
The minimum for spacecraft appears to be TL7 (manoeuvre drive?, hull table p52), but TL 8 is the minimum for anti-grav.

Thank you for another helpful reply and from my review of CRB 1e Technology Levels p. 4 and CRB 2e pp. 5-6 I think both heat and radiation shielding starts at TL 5 or TL 6.

Shielding shows up whenever heat or radiation become an issue for some.

Thank you for the reply and I think I need to provide more information for my question about Tech Level.

I am putting together tables combining the CRB 1e and HG 1e design rules. From CRB 1e there are the options for Reflec (TL 10), Self-Sealing (TL 9), and Stealth (TL 10). HG 1e adds heat shielding and radiation shielding without including TL. I really dislike having blank spaces in my tables which is way I'm trying to fill the ones for radiation shielding and heat shielding. A reaction maneuver drive is available prior to the Gravitic/Reactionless Drive which becomes standard at TL 7 per HG 1e p. 53.

A pause as the light bulb goes on.

With the information on HG 1e p. 53 for reactionless maneuver drives I think mature reaction drives, heat shielding, and radiation shielding is TL 6 and TL 5 is the prototype stage.

Thank you for the help.
