Got some questions for ya....

Greetings and Salutations,

  I am starting my first attempt at GMing MegaTraveller(well, actually, its
my second attempt, the first bombed when everyone cancelled due to class
pressures after the first nite of play :). If anyone has any tips for me,
lets hear 'em.  I'm ready!
   Now a few questions....

1.  Aging:  does it seem reasonable to you'uns that 3,000 years in the future
            the point when aging starts to affect your performance is about the
            same as it is now?  I am considering pushing the aging rolls back
            to at least 50 or 60.  I don't remember reading anywhere what the
            average lifespan is, does anyone have any clues?  If I push the
            aging rolls back, I would probably increase the lifespan also.
            Comments?

2. Timeline:  I am not sure where I want to start my players WRT the
            rebellion.  I could start them before, say about 1100, right
            around the event, or somewhat after, say 1140 or so.  What have the
            rest of you done as far as the timeline is concerned?

3.  Place:  I am thinking of starting my players in either Zarushagar or
            Reaver's Deep sector.  Are there official maps of these
            sectors and if so, where can I find them?

   Thanx all (especially James for keeping this monster going!  :)

     Of a thousand psychic wars,
         I've been living on the edge so long,
             Where the winds of Limbo roar,
 And I'm young enough to look at,
     And far too old to see,
         All the scars are on the inside,
             I don't know if there's anything left of me"
