Maybe it's 2g within a certain radius of and/or distance from a large mass and 1g when in deep space?

Didn't MT have two different types of thrusters? One that worked at the given rating only when there was a mass around to 'push off' from and another that worked at a given rating all the time?

If that is true in the case of your Launch and Marava-class Far Traders, then a gravitics-augmented M-Drive would make sense.

P.S. Why not send an email to LKW and ask him if the discrepency with the launch's gee rating in his book is a typo?

Did this morning. Got a e-mail-no-good-reply.

His e-mail address on his web site still leads to sjg games.

Anybody got a better addy for him? What about on this list? Can I PM him?
