Comets and Starports and CAT

TML message #7185From bundle 573

Hi all.

First, for Mark -- I don't know how much it will be, but I'd
call the collision partial elastic, rather than partially
inelastic.  Not that it maters much.  Shame we'll lose a comet.
Did see a thing a few days ago about how it's actually going to
hit fairly close to the earthside limb of Jove, so we should
get a risg-side seat for Hubble.

===
Next -- Starports.  Don't get me started.  Nothing (IMHO) in
all of the T/MT/TNE domain is more in need of development work.
Just been talking with James about some of my ideas, in fact.
I think I want to do a *complete* set of navigational and approach
charts -- but only for ONE world.  I offer this to the list.
Please tell me which world you want.  So far I'm seriously
considering doing hold zones, approach plates, frequencies,
services available, locations, times of operation, contact
methods and persons, landing and parking fees, fuels type and
availability, local attractions, etc for:

  jump points
  high ports
  low ports
  air ports
  asteroid clusters and claims
  refueling queues

and perhaps some others.  What I haven't figured out yet, is if
I want to do this for on-screen delivery or on-paper delivery.
Please let me know.

====
Finally -- CAT
My labor of love -- computer assised RPG's.

I find myself unable to spend enough time online and connected to
keep the list talking.  If anyone would like to take over as moderator/
instigator on the CAT list, please drop me a line.  Write to
[email removed] so I'll see it sooner.  It's not that I want
to give it up or fold the list, but I'm just too busy with real
life to give it any cycles at all.  That's not fair to you.
