My first question is this : does S_DMOODY (or anyone else) have
any solutions or suggestions concerning the problems S_DMOODY presented?
He did bring up some legitimate complaints that I agree with, but
I would also like to hear any suggestions for corrections to the problems.
My own solution concerning maneuver drives was to make HEPlaR
technology dependent on the society's TL, in the same way that other
jump and maneuver drives are based on TL. By the time the society was TL
15 or 16, the efficiency of their HEPlaR drives would enable them to achieve
the travel times mentioned in MT rules and TML letters. And concerning
gravitic technology, lasers, and the "fudge factor" S_DMOODY mentions, I
think that GT is a reasonable way to make lasers more effective without
knowing exactly what technology would be available in the _very_ distant
future Traveller is set in.
