Hello Phil,

I did notice the CT LBB 2 'bug' a while back, but since I was using CT LBB 5 HG 2e I had not thought about bring the material up. I did make an attempt to adjust the CT LBB 3 Technology Level Chart, but got frustrated and distracted leaving another incomplete project.

Of course my analysis of the material could out to lunch.

Well that means that the overall TL limit for J-max is violated in the 1st four examples.

AFAIK, the J-max for TL9 is ONE, for TL10 it's also ONE, for TL11 it is TWO, for TL12 it's THREE, for TL13 it's FOUR, for TL14 it's FIVE, & for TL15 it's SIX!

That's why the Zho's are limited to J5max & Vargr & SwordWorlders to J4max. (unless they can acquire foreign equip from the 3I or some other polity with a higher TLmax)

Gosh, Tom, you've managed to unearth a 'bug' that, it seems, no one has noticed for DECADES & DECADES!

Morning from Roy, WA Phil,

I agree that the chart should have been included in CT LBB 2 or at least referred to as being in CT LBB 3 somewhere in the Design and Construction section.

Using the CT LBB 3 chart and CT LBB 2 Standard Hulls Table
A 100 ton hull can make J5 and J6 using jump drive Type C at TL 9. 
A 200 ton hull can make J5 using a Type E and J6 using a Type F at TL 10
A 400 ton hull can make J5 using a Type K at TL 11 and J6 using a Type M at TL 12
A 600 ton hull can make J5 using a Type Q at TL 13 and J6 using a Type T at TL 14
A 800 ton hull can make J5 using a Type V and J6 using a Type X at TL 15
A 1,000 ton hull can make J5 using a Type W and J6 using a Type X at TL 15
From the CT LBB 2 Drive Potential Table a 2,000 ton hull can make J5 and J6 using a Type Z at TL 15.

Thanks for digging that up, Tom.

Wonder why that table isn't in CT LBB2?

It sure seems relevant to starship construction.
