[QUOTE="Centisteed, post: 5510886, member: 6668296"] I noticed some heavy OOC conversation on ship speeds & design. Everybody's Traveller can be setup/run in their own way. What are the basics? From what I've read it always takes a week to travel between systems, no matter what. It doesn't get any faster or slower based on cargo, etc. Maybe that would just be on STL travel speeds, but once you go into warp/jump it wouldn't matter. As for planet hopping from one side to another, I've read back in the 90s when they were talking about planes that could get from one point to another anywhere on the planet within 2 hours, all it takes is that you have to fly up into space & then back down. Though we can see how that turned out (decommissioning space shuttles!). With planes as they are today, you can't put more weight than you can carry, so there should be a max weight we can put on the space ship before take-off otherwise, never we'd never get off the ground. After being in space, I'm not sure it really matters. Just turn off gravity control in the cargo hold, strap it all down? [/QUOTE]
