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. . .
