Names:

I can't think of any one name that I like more than others, but my
votes go to:

Rebel Traveller, and TDR

Also, how about:  Travelling.


One thing I would like to point out:

  Someone mentioned that they could not understand why it would cost
different amounts of money to ship different material.  100 tonnes of feathers
as oppossed to 100 tonnes of machine parts.  Well, in my system, it would cost
more for the feathers, since they take up more volume.

  Example:  the macinery takes up 10 cubic metres, but the feathers take up
1000 m^3.     At 5 Cr/tonne/ly in my game, the feathers would actually be
5000 CR/ly and the machine parts 500Cr/ly   .  I take the greater of volume or mass.
