Greetings to the TML...
I surface again, after my last question about Research Stations,
only to ask another irritating question... about Stars.
In the MegaTraveller (Ack) Referee's Manual, on page 27 we have
a set of tables that give the orbital zones for stars in the Extended
System Generation rules. In particular I draw attention to the Orbital
Zones for Star Size Ia and Ib... Again, I may be opening an old moldy
can of worms, but the generation system makes no provision for generation
of this stellar size. Also, I find no mention of whether we as refs are
to improvise as in the case of type O and type B stars or not.
Now, I am sure this has probably been noticed before, but I have
not found anything in the errata sheets or in back issues of the TML
(As of yet, I read slow...) and was wondering if anyone has a fix for
this.
But on another note...
Does anyone have a set of criteria for worlds that end up as nodes
on the Xboat routes? (As you might expect, I am writing a sector
generator, actually modifying [Hi James!])
And, to close, how do people feel about Nebulae and other gas clouds?
I was thinking about putting a command line flag that gives a choice of
placement of such beasties. May make a neat addition. :-)
BTW, to Wildstar, I believe, who left us some quotes about a week ago
in one of his posts... Both from "The Empire Strikes Back".
"There's Something alive..." - Luke to R2 D2 above Degobah
"There isn't enough life..." - Han Solo on Hoth to Luke Via Comlink
