Alternate way to get the 100 diameter limit?

[Condottiere]

You should pick a dense system.

What is Gold-Pressed Latinum worth?

One learns something new every day—when ST: DS9 first aired, I thought that it was “cold-pressed latinum”.

You should pick a dense system.

With LBB6 system generation ... YOU CAN.

 

[Silverhawk]

In my opinion, interplanetary maneuver drives are ... underappreciated ... by most Players and Referees using Traveller.
Not all "adventures" need to be interstellar, or require jump drives.

Sometimes it can be quite interesting to have a "maneuver only" campaign setting within a single star system.

Depending on "how things go" in the campaign, you can always "upgrade" to being interstellar with a starship later ...

I could probably finish one or two of my ideas for a "maneuver only" campaign if this pesky thing of taking kids to events and picking up kids from events would stop for a day or two.

 

[Condottiere]

Or, visit by the Death Star.

Seriously, most citizens can't afford to go interstellar, so give them enough adventures intrasystem.

 

[Enoki]

You should pick a dense system.

What does how obstinate the system is have to do with this? Just curious.

 

[Condottiere]

Metaphorically, that would have more to do with intelligence quotient, rather than stubbornness.

Tsk, tsk.
Wrong colloquial interpretation of "dense" there.

A "dense" system is one that sinks when you put it in water.

 

[Condottiere]

Gravity wells, if you think about it.

 

[Silverhawk]

A system with a lot of locations for activity plus a reason for the PCs to keep moving without jumping. Something like Route 66 in a shuttle craft. Or an alternative is to have the old "We can fix you jump drive but we have to order the part from [NAME]. Take 3 months to get. The good news is that the shipping is included in the price. Just need you to sign here to authorize and we'll message you when it comes in so you can bring the ship back to the yard."

Leave them with a now what do we do situation.

You don't even need to dig out LBB:6

This world creation process applies only to the single most important world in a
star system; additional planets in a system should be generated by the referee as
necessary.

Gravity wells, if you think about it.

But you need a really strong cable, otherwise tidal forces snap it and you lose the bucket . . .

 

[Condottiere]

If you have onboard a manoeuvre drive with inertial compensation, it wouldn't even matter if there was a hole in your bucket.

I guess it would, if you replaced that with reactionary rockets, since you'd need it to vent, and you'd use a percentage of the contents as propulsion. Would inertial compensation matter? Acceleration would be greater than tidal forces, so the general direction of the flow would still be towards the rocket exhaust, even without a pump.
