I agree with you Tom.

Even if it's 'RED' now, what is actually present there could be vitally important esp in case of a misjump or some other emergency situation.

There is also the point that 'interdicted' may mean 'legally off limits without much enforcement'. It may well mean that many captains flying below the radar on small ships on the fringes may still visit such places and avail themselves of any ports (A, B, C whatever).

This is a problem with the UWP - It is representing both 'port/no port' and 'legal/illegal' and those are two different concepts.

My take is that while an 'X' is technically correct for an 'interdicted' world it is not *exclusive*.
IOW, an 'X' could actually mean 'Nothing'.

One might like a more accurate description from a system's UWP.

I think it would be appropriate to add a comment indicating just what the 'X' means.

Just UWPs won't get that done. But I do agree with the comment.

The discussion I believe concluded that a majority believed that the X designation should be applied to ports in a Red Travel Zone.

I disagree with the change may in CT LBB 6 and then carried over to MT Referee's manual and TNE Core Rulebook since a system could have been a green or amber zone with a Type A starport and due to events the system's travel status has be changed to red. The system's starport is still type A but no one can utilize its facilities.
