hiya,
I'm about to flog a dead horse here, but while reading through the
(old) boxed adventure (for starter traveller even) called Tarsus, I
noticed some more information that would clarify exactly where the 100
diameter limit is. I quote:
' Break Out From Jump Space: The ship has just emerged from
jump space, and lies about 120 million kilometers from Hote
(the central star). This distance is necessary because the ship
cannot emerge closer than 100 diameters to any astronomical
body. Since Hote has a diameter of about 1.16 million
kilometers, 120 million kilometers is a safe distance. Good
navigation has placed the ship as close as possible to Tarsus
(Tarsus is about 50 million kilometers from Hote), about 70
million kilometers distance.'
This paragraph is pretty self explanatory and it might help clear
up the fuzziness around exactly where you may jump from.
