High Guard: High tech advantages

[Hakkonen]

Is it kosher to apply an advantage to a component, even if it's not explicitly listed? For instance, the only advantage listed for reaction drives is "Fuel Efficient;" could I also apply the maneuver drive advantage "Size Reduction," representing improved miniaturization at the higher tech level?

Advantages and Disadvantages are then selected from a suitable category in this chapter, or the referee and Travellers can create their own.

Where the referee deems it appropriate, the same Advantage or Disadvantage can be applied more than once to a component.

I think you can do more or less whatever you want.

 

[Condottiere]

The list is not exhaustive.

However, getting official sanction implies that game testing has proven it doesn't unbalance the game.

In a word, yes. Just stay within the limitations set by the device's Tech Level. The GM always has final say though.
