Something just struck me when looking at the movement rules for Grav vehicles... They are wrong! If vehicle has a 1.5 grav thrust, about 1 G of that is needed...

Interesting...it makes sense! I have actually abandoned grav vehicles until there is a viable theory that will allow for them to be conceived without gross ...

Another thing you could try to fix, Matthew, is 'Formula One trucks'. Under the current rules, a vehicle that is to carry a heavy load needs a high G, but when...
This is (I think) what I meant when I mentioned Playability, Daniel. Any rule set needs to be a compromise between reality and playability. If you wanted to...
Don't (DO NOT) even get me started on ACVs... I am not even going to include them as viable for combat vehicles unless on EXTREMELY dense atmosphere worlds. ...
... This is not something that has to do with HOW theh grav works... I am just applying the same theory that applies to vectored thrust steering systems. If...

Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee gave us a pretty big arena, without jump drives. It just took a lot of "non-playing" time to get to the next scene. :) See the...

Here are some other things that got me to thinking (One of them is what made me think of Jumps that take less than one week) In one of the Traveller books...
