Supplementing the World Size table

Regarding the World Size table (page 217). How come it wasn't expanded to show time to travel to the 100 diameter limit for differing values of Thrust? It would make life so convenient.

I've come up with a spreadsheet, using LibreOffice Calc, to do that, for World Sizes 0 to 10, with a few smaller sizes for considering space stations

I had to assume Thrust i.e. "g" is 10 metres per second squared, to match up with the Transit Times table on page 153

At first, I tried to paste the spreadsheet's contents as text but the spacing didn't line up. Then I tried it as a .ods file. Then a .pdf file. All were rejected by the Forum's software.

Then I took a partial screenshot and attached it as an image.

I just wanted to check: do my numbers look alright in this?

OK, I now know why the table world size wasn't supplemented with time taken to read the 100-diameters limit.

It is really fiddly.

I do have an updated spreadsheet, with time taken for thrust acceleration 1 to 6 but whenever I try to add a screenshot of the relevant figures, the image won't attach to this message because "Error: Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached"
 
I made a separate Discord room and link to images posted there. Just copy the link into the image tag here.
Works for posting the actual spreadsheet too.

OK. I'll be checking my calculations tomorrow. Then I'll get round to joining Discord. If everything is OK, I'll share the spreadsheet and its PDF as well.
 
OK. I'm attempting to share two files on my Google Drive.

They are:
transit-times.ods - LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet - https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WidI7DZGZoQ3fhaldAIo84EKBdn8_Si/view?usp=sharing
transit-times.pdf - PDF file - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wMAV01dOpty13l0UwKnpu0lZ-jYdu8B_/view?usp=sharing

Let me know if you can access them....

They are free for personal use only.

For compatibility with the 2016 Traveller Core Rule Book, I'm assuming G is 10 meters per second squared.
 
I had no trouble with the pdf. Didn't check the other.
If it uploaded from your preview pane, it will work after submission.

Thank you for checking. I set things up very carefully but I wanted to make sure it was accessible to everyone.
