I have a situation in the MGT2 game I am running. The travellers have effectively missjumped (inflicted by NPC) and are now stranded on a planet 4 parsecs from the next system. They have the Harrier (Pirated of Drinax) with J2 capability. They will have to jump to an empty hex and then wilderness jump to the next inhabited system. They will have to build a droptank/external tank to supply the fuel they will need for the back-to-back jumps they are making adding an additional 40dT to the ships 200dT. This additional mass/volume would require an additional 2dT of jump drives.
HG states that Jump-2 drives are 5% of the ships mass (10dT) plus 5dT. Would you allow the additional volume to be covered by the extra 5dT, allowing the ship to jump-2 parsecs, or rule that you would need 17dT of jump drives and therefore the ship can only make a jump-1 with the current engines (15dT)?
