The characters in our game are currently visiting a planet with a very slow rotation, resulting in high temperatures in the vicinity of 500 kelvin at the hottest part of the 869 hour-long local day, and dropping to below 100 kelvin at night.
Clearly this is a world to test both man and machine, particularly the HVAC crew.
As I was reading over my notes before bed last night, a question popped into my head: which extreme is preferable from the standpoint of establishing permanent settlements? Given Traveller's technical assumptions about the availability of fusion power, et cetera, with all else equal, which would be preferable for colonization: a hot world, or a cold one?
