Y'know, I always thought drop tanks were a bit underused in Traveller,
given what seemed to be the economics. I can think of several issues
that might account for this - most of which likely /wouldn't/ be issues
for military usage, in the sense that "Dammit, we need the damn drop
tanks; do what you have to".

For civilian use, though, I think I pretty well summarize the issues in
http://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/rules/tss/tss3.html - do I
miss any glaring ones?
