per the tin: is it affected by navigation or engineering skill? if so would it be a flat reduction or act to bring the time closer to the ideal time of 168 hours?
Time in jump space
- Thread starter Spartan159
- Start date
Not canonically.
Note that a fleet jumping together uses a standard fleet derivation, (168±10%), and then all arrive within (IIRC) ±100 minutes of that.
I'd hate to be the first warship to arrive. :nonono:
Still a fair sight better than each rolling a separate ±16:48 deviation.
Where is that documented. Is that something mentioned in T5?
IIRC in MT errata.
AFAIK this began with a question about the fleet dispersal in the Q&A in a DT, and from then it began this concept of "jump coordination" (for the lack of better name).
MTJ, don't recall which issue, and then carried into the Errata.
Also touched on in TNE, in the RSB.

The following quote comes from JTAS No. 24, the Marc Miller article on Jumpspace.
From High Guard, 2nd Edition, comes the following quote, on page 17.
Emphasis added.
In Classic Traveller, i.e. the LBB, Starter Traveller, and The Traveller Book, the following statement appears.
Emphasis added.
Based on this, it appears that the 168 hour jump time was never really a firm time, more of an average. Jumps could take longer or could be shorter for the same distance.
Maybe?
Need to check T5.09, but I know that T5.00 had rules for Trained & Tuned time in Jump. The book is buried and I need to bounce out and get rent and shopping done, but I may come back and see if I can hunt you down page numbers and some idea of how it works.
But yes, it has been addressed.

Using MgT2e as the most recent reference, the travel time of 148+6D hours is the effect of jump space itself, however, the Misjump section says failing the Engineering (jump) check by an Effect -1 will increase the number of days by 1D and possibly cause the ship and crew to experience a relative extra 1D days in jumpspace compared to real space.
Looking at my revised T5 under How Jump Works page 339, an Astrogation failure still means arriving in 7 days but there's 'Blockage/Scatter' at jump exit while an Engineering failure means 7 + Flux days. For those who don't have T5, that flux mean you can arrive earlier or later.
