T5SS Issue

[ovka]

I'm not quite sure where to put this since the T5SS errata thread appears closed.

I know that Beyond isn't completely canon, but it is listed on the Traveller Map site as In Review.

Ultima/Northeast Middle Beyond (Beyond 2019) has a UWP of B83C361-B.

So ... 120% of the world's surface is covered with water? o:

I may not be a smart man ....

It's really deep water? :rofl::rofl: Or has another ocean under the top ocean's seabed?

Does T5 have a code for non-liquid water 'oceans'?

What would an ammonia ocean be?
What about an Ice Covered world?

[Just trying to think of possibilities, I don't have T5].

It's just legacy weirdness from Paranoia Press.
It has nothing to do with T5. It's one of the things that needs to be "In Review".

Although Fluid/Corrosive Oceans or a DEEP OCEAN (100's of km) Pelagic World would work as a House Rule until and unless a canon ruling or change is made.
In T5 "Ice-Capped" Worlds are worlds with non-zero hydrographics and atmospheric code "0".

It's a water ocean with a 20% higher content of heavy water!

Ic = Ice Capped.

Actually, the simplest explanation is usually the right one...

Don messed this up.

The T5 transmogrifier came up with B838361-B, and I didn't use that going forward for some odd reason. Noted for the next update. And I usually look in the Scouts pages for T5SS updates, as some OTU gamers don't want to look on the T5 board for such items.

 

[Drakon]

The surface is only 70 percent covered by water. But underneath all the land and even someof the oceans are these large caverns that in turn are flooded with huge underground oceans, like shown in the works in Verne. Imagine if some of the salt mines underneath the great lakes were flooded.

That's how I'd explain a 120 percent ocean coverage.

 

[DonM]

It's fixed on travellermap...

 

[Trouble]

There is an Ice moon in orbit 20% of the worlds size. The orbit is to close or unstable causing occasional chunks of the moon to break off. They vaporize on entering atmosphere causing world wide rainstorms.
There is life under the ice of the moon in subsurface liquid oceans. Weirdly some of it remains sort of intact causing local blood rains and rarely the fall of intact and or mostly intact specimens. There are rumors that some particularly vicious creatures have made it down alive.
