ECONOMIC SURVEY DATA/SHIP SIZE

By [unnamed sender] ·

TML message #7943From bundle 632

    This a section of an HIWG document created a couple of years ago. The
fomulas used are based on TCS formulas. However rumour has it that TCS
figures don't necessarily apply to the Imperium (or necessarily anything
else in the traveller universe).
    Therefore the best thing to do is maybe forget the TCS vs 5FW debate
and start anew by testing the TNE figures givenn in the RCEs sourcebook.
But that's my opinion.....

ABSTRACT
        Economic statistics derived from the sector UWP listings in the
        GEnie library. Note that Traveller and MegaTraveller are trademarks
        owned by GDW. The sector listings are also owned.

NOTES:
An asterisk before a Sector name signifies there is system information missing
in that sector file.

'Urb' identifies 'urban systems' that are high population, high technology.
The population figures are given in millions.
Gross product is in trillion Imperial credits. (TL 15 credits.)
All Gross Subsector Product figures are given in Imperial Credits,
using the conversion table in Striker Book 2.

Starport ship capacity is given in millions of displacement tons.
Shipyard Capacity formula: capacity = total pop * (GM = 1) / 1000

========================================================================

    Insofar as ship sizes are concerned (for the figuring of ship
classifications). CT made large vessels likely and probable given the combat
and design rules. MT made warships top out at about 50k tons or less because
of the combat rules (Meson guns made larger vessels impratical except for
maybe showing the flag.... otherwise they appeared to be to fragile in
combat). With the advent of TNE maybe the balance has gone back to CT sizes
(or has it). So far this last is unknown till some designs get generated
and combat done.
    Plus RCEs and Regency ship classifications will differ because of the
big buiding gap. (Which also brings up building capacity... looking
at Oriflamme[?] as an example of sorts might be wortwhile).
