------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nobody's standing in the way of anything. You can imagine whatever you want & call it what you want. You can even call it Traveller, if you want. But, here on the TML, you can't expect to propose changes to the long standing principles that underlie & support the very nature of the TU that we've come to know & love w/o encountering vigorous objection. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 2/14/16, Greg Chalik <mrg3105@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [TML]Tracking spaceships in Jump TU, was: Instant city To: xxxxxx@simplelists.com Date: Sunday, February 14, 2016, 1:44 PM Phil, it seems to me TU is about what players can imagine, rather than what they cannot. Design and designer should not stand in the way of that.

Why? Its the start of 21st century and we can 3D-print a fully-functioning jet engine the size of a microwave oven. Why can't at TL15 the IN not produce some way of tracking their ships backwards in Jump space? I'm having a real hard time accepting that in a TL15 world, travel works based on 17th century concepts (its not even Lord Nelson) Cheers Greg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In that case, I can't imagine why you would even bother w/ the TU(tm) cuz that's the way it is in the TU(tm) & changing all that would yield a result that would definitely NOT be the TU(tm), or even a reasonable facsimile, anymore. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://archives.simplelists.com ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u=EwREIRgLK8vaUEhNlnoNdSGKwnjoID8a
