Pioneer - Get Ready for Launch!

Back on topic...

It would be neat if they can boil real world orbital mechanics into a reasonable set of tables or rules, similar to how CRB uses expended Thrust and 6 minute space combat rounds to change range bands. Anything that is devised for Pioneer will be usable in regular Traveller or 2300AD.

I must say, I am intrigued. First saw the big splash PIONEER and thought some sort of exploratory source book then read the description and you got my attention. I've had several gos at designing a somewhat realistic near future what if at the dawn when humanity develop a working non-reaction drive system making our solar system feasibly accessible and all the ramifications of highly compressed time and space scales that brings.

Do continue.
