Silly question, perhaps...

Welcome aboard, by the way. There are no silly questions.

Except "Is this a silly question?"

The Spinward Main is a treasure trove for the referee and players alike, and one good experience to have early is to navigate through it with a Jump-1 ship. Sort of like the "Route 66" effect.

For an adventurer type merchant ship it's fine. It's when you're a regular merchant with a crippling mortgage on a jump-1 ship that you're much better off sticking to jumping back and forth between the same two worlds. :devil:

Role-playing mumble mumble, referee mumble mumble, realism mumble mumble, economics mumble mumble, starports mumble mumble. Quixotic holy war issue in sight.

What's that? Speak up robject! Stop mumbling, how can I pick a proper flame war with you if you're only gonna mutter...
