Starship operations reality vs expectations

[Condottiere]

As I once told a thirties something female teacher, the human body starts decaying from age twenty five onwards.

That's why, East Asian females try to avoid becoming Christmas cakes.

"If the Engineer (j-drive) check made to initiate a jump is failed by an Effect of -1, the ship will arrive in the target system but appear 1D days later than normal. At the referee’s option, roll an additional 1D – this is the number of extra days the ship spends in jumpspace from the point of view of the crew (the relativity error generated by this misjump causes a difference in perceived time aboard the ship and the rest of the universe)."
CRB p158.

So we have at least one explicit reference where people age differently outside of normal time.

which version of the CRB is this from?

which version of the CRB is this from?

MGT2 CRB 2022. The same wording is on P148 of the 2016 edition

The one about time inside the bubble maybe flowing differently and the ship and passengers emerging as hard radiation was in MGT1e Core (2008). MGT2e expanded that paragraph with the milder version of it on a marginal failure.

That itself might have been copied from an earlier edition. I'll have a look.

Not an earlier edition as such, but T5 has the possibility of time spent in jump from the perspective of the ship not matching time elapsed outside of Jumpspace, too.

But this really isn't that surprising. It happens at relativistic accelerations anyway, and Jumpspace is outside of normal physics (or at least is subject to physics that don't apply under normal circumstances).
