I understand. I was shocked by your original statement!So, traveling 3 parsecs by Jump-1 is three times as expensive as traveling by Jump-3. Great for passengers who take the Jump-3, but not for the ship owners. If you allow high-jump ships to charge more, they start making economic sense for both the passengers and operators.I can't run the numbers--would charging 50% more make it feasible to operate a Jump-3 ship, or does it have to charge double the given passage price?On Jun 12, 2017 11:24 AM, <tmr0195@comcast.net> wrote:Hello Ethan McKinney,My apologies for the summary of the third paragraph, which was inaccurate in part, unfortunately I suddenly realized I was running late to get to an appointment.CT Book 2 Starships 2e 1977, 1981 6th printing p. 9"Differences in starship jump drive capacity have no specific effect on passage prices. A jump-3 rated ship starship charges the same passage prices as a jump-1 starship. The difference is that a jump-3 ship can reach a destination in one jump, while the jump-1 ship would take three separate jumps (through two intermediate destinations, and requiring three separate tickets) to reach it. Higher jump numbers also may make otherwise inaccessible destinations within reach. But two ships of differing jump numbers going to the same destination in one jump, each would charge the same cargo or passage price."Again my apologies for omitting the information about a jump-1 ship charging for the intermediate jumps, I'll have to post only the material I have time to accurately type. Of course having the FFE CT CD-ROM would make things easier.Tom RuxFrom: "Ethan McKinney" <xxxxxx@gmail.com>

Subject: Re: [TML] Dumb Q about PassagesSo I don't have to dig it out, what's the actual text of the 3rd paragraph?On Jun 12, 2017 7:15 AM, <tmr0195@comcast.net> wrote:Hello all,CT Book 2 Starships 2e 1977, 1981 6th printing p. 9 may, at least I hope that the information answers the question.Passengers: Second paragraph - "Passengers will pay a standard fare for the class of transportation they choose: Cr10,000 for high passage, Cr8,000 for middle passage, and Cr1,000 for low passage. Passage is always sold on the basis of transport to the announced destination rather than on the basis of jump distance."The third paragraph indicates a ship that can make travel 3 parsecs in one jump and another ship capable of traveling 1 parsecs charge the same passenger fares the difference is that the passenger on the J-3 ship gets to the destination faster. Otherwise the charge the same price for carrying cargo and passengers.Tom Rux----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.cohttp://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please go tom ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.cohttp://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please go tom http://www.simplelists.com/con----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please go tofirm.php?u=gi277fSUTkyFeQYIkUk n6zf5f3dXCa4l ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u= PltOdItWBSgOP4y0Q6abkGbDI1eus0 lz
