100dt is 1350kl...Originally posted by Andy Fralix:
I did some quick checking on some site that I ran across that just does conversions for you(conversions.com I think) 100 dtons =13.5 kl = 17.66 cubic yards = 476.75 cubic feet
Estimate at least 50% of that will be taken up by non-accessable space leaves you a cube 6.2 feet on a side to live in. Still want a smaller than 100 ton jump capable ship?
I have never seen anything that says that there is a relative time difference and you spend less than a week aboard the ship. It certainly isn't in the CT Rule books, MT Rulebooks, T20 Rulebooks, Any of the dozens of supplements, adventures, or Challange Magazines I have on hand.Originally posted by endersig:
Actually, if you think about it, you may be a week in the future, but the time it took you to jump is nearly instantaneous. This is how Traveller dealt with the Flash Forward effect of faster-than-light travel. I can't remember where I saw this, but if hard pressed, I can prolly dig it up. So, to continue your football metaphor, yes, i can stay between the 10 and 13.333 yard lines for the few hours it took to get out of the jump-sphere (100 diameters) jump, and then back in.

Please dig it up. I never saw anything like it. In fact many published adventures took place entirely during the week's time of a jump. For example from Missions of State # 7 The Gauntlet CruiseOriginally posted by endersig:

Ok, I'll bite, what's the "flash forward" of FTL?
