[HIgh Guard] Reaction Drives

[atpollard]

Of course to achieve this kind of acceleration, we are back into using Unobtainium with Armwavy science, so I don't know that it is any better than reactionless drives.

I agree.

With the possible exception of a 'ramjet' (collect fuel as you go) drive, Non-Jump interstellar travel is better handled with the Reactionless Drives (Unobtainium with Armwavy science already included).


For my Traveller universe, I rolled a high population pre-stellar TL world located 6 parsecs from the nearest world. I had them extend the Classic Traveller MD table past 6G and build a giant (1 million dTon) trade ship that spent a year (or whatever the time worked out to be from the interplanetary travel formula in LBB2) travelling to the nearest Starport to buy what they could not produce. So this 'world' had contact with the outside only once every few years.
