OK some general questions.
Traveller has used colonizing ships to populate words in the OTU.
I see most colonizing ships having the majority of the colonists in cold berths.
I break the colonizing ships into two broad categories
Sub light Ships
Jump capable Ships
These two categories have the same subtypes
Totally self contained(ie batteries included)carries colonists, supplies, food etc.
(batteries not included) it just the colonists, some meager possessions, and not much else.
In my below examples the target world is a "garden" world, with everything right the middle of the temps, climate, atmosphere etc. But the planet is not prepared ie no infrastructure etc.
Ok how many colonists will it take to have a "Stable" breeding population with out resorting to "different" types of parenting? Lets leave in vitro fertilization out of the question for now.
How many tons of supplies(generic term for food, materials, tools etc) would need to be supplied for each colonist?
