Traveller Maps and Patents

[ken at sunrise]

Hi, I haven't signed on for a while so I probably missed the answer to this.

I check out the Traveller Map and I noticed changes from the last time I was on. Importance, stats (UPW) and even nobility of systems.

These are even different from the Patents I have. Why the changes and why from the Patents that were given out?

I appreciate any info.

Thanks,

Some are due to errata corrections, mostly for rationality. RU calcs changed due to a successful lobbying effort (mostly by Hans).

Any issues with the patents need to be sent to Marc, not posted here (neither Aramis or I can send new patents). Marc's e-mail remains farfuture@gmail.com.

Marc handles the patents personally. Note that an interesting number of patents were actually wrong, so that might not be a UWP/T5SS issue.

And we do update travellermap.com's data after Marc approves changes, so it should be considered the master.

And Joshua Bell at travellermap.com cannot fix patents either...
