On Building Ships: Classic, Time to build? Jeff Zeitlin 06 Jul 2017 02:59 UTC
Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I don't see a definitive statement either way: when figuring the construction time for a ship, the hull has a time listed in months (which I convert to weeks at 1:4), and the CT Drive Potential table has a single column at the far right which is headed "build time". When working out the build time for a ship, do I use the _longer_ of the two times (which the standard designs listed appear to do), or should I really be _adding_ the times (which would make the standard designs listed severely underestimated for build time)? I'm analyzing some ship designs that are slightly house-ruled; they're severely overpowered (larger M-Drive and PP than the rules nominally allow; the ships in question are more or less "tugboats" for a shipyard), and the build time for the M-Drive and PP are actually longer than the time given for laying the hull. (Cepheus Engine gives build time in weeks, and seems consistent with CT after the 1:4 conversion, but CE only gives hull construction times, nothing else has a construction time.) ®Traveller is a registered trademark of Far Future Enterprises, 1977-2017.
