Deep Space Refueling

I always thought that there weren't deep-space refueling stations in Traveller because ships don't just refuel, they discharge energy. I know that was true in 2300AD and I'm pretty certain that's how jump worked in Battletech, and I guess I always assumed it was true in Traveller. Jump Drives must discharge accumulated energy before moving on, and they must do so in a significant gravity well. A deep space station with that much gravity would need a celestial body, or be a truly immense (possibly Dyson Sphere-scale) station. Lemme know if I'm wrong. . . _________________________________ Eugenics: Chlorination of the Gene Pool. J Roberson [email removed] [email removed]
