Hey guys,
I know the GEnie wish list is pretty dead, but I hope some kind soul would
please forward this for me...
One last thing I would like to see in Traveller 3. Some rules for the
construction of micro-electronics. As is, it is impossible to build
any really small neato devices.
It is impossible to build a robot that is under 1 liter in displacement.
(whataDRAG!) Now the only way to get something neat and small is to have
the ref just guess how much it would cost. Some official guidelines
would really help a LOT!
Even if it is just a basic rule.
Like: For every time the devices volume is divided by 2, the cost is
multiplied by 4.
Thus a device that originally takes up 8 liters and cost 1000 cr
would cost:
4000Cr if built at 4 liters,
16000Cr if built at 2 liters
etc. etc.
What do you guys think?

Yeah, sure! and in '97 the Robinson Family goes off to Alpha Centauri,
and 2 years after that the moon gets blown out of Earth orbit by an
explosion in the nuclear waste dump!
