---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree. I believe that *since* it hasn't happened in all that time, it's pretty safe to assume that it effectively *can't* happen? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, 7/24/15, Craig Berry <xxxxxx@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [TML] Captain, the USS AMANA is in radar range To: xxxxxx@simplelists.com Date: Friday, July 24, 2015, 9:13 PM Yes, it's hard (but not *very* hard) to imagine a (sane) game where the PCs do this. The question is why, in a universe manifestly sprinkled with crazy terrorist organizations and lone gunmen to an extent similar to our own, not to mention occasional wars between high-tech adversaries, this hasn't happened to most hi-pop worlds over the course of millennia.

I'm assuming that this thread is about some peoples need to neuter the tech in Traveller so the players can't do something really anti-social like run a Type S to 0.2c and then smack it into a world, or, to steal from Niven, start a fusion drive a tens of meters over an some sophant's inhabited home and hover for a few minutes. Is that the case? If it should be possible, then it should be possible. If the PCs want to waste a world with a Type-S, and there's nothing in the rules that say it can't be done, then it should be possible. The very calculation used to determine travel times pretty much codifies that this *can* be done as there doesn't appear to be an upper limit on potential velocity. The key question is, why *should* a group of PCs want to destroy a world? Unless you're running a Pocket Empires campaign, there's little incentive for most PC groups to lay waste to worlds. ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@travellercentral.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://archives.simplelists.com -- Craig Berry (http://google.com/+CraigBerry) "Eternity is in love with the productions of time." - William Blake ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@travellercentral.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u=EwREIRgLK8vaUEhNlnoNdSGKwnjoID8a
