Re: Jump to Posnan

Matt:
Brent will do some study on what is known about Poznan and Kide in addition to all the other activities.


The Traveller Map website has links to a wiki when you click on a planet. Brent has all of the information from the map, and the associated links. Of course, it's all 250+ years old...

Re: Jump to Posnan

I can cheat and read 'Hard Times' to get a feel of what damage to those worlds might have done.

If I ever ran a near-apocalypse game it would be in the Hard Times setting.

Re: Jump to Posnan

Oh very nice stuff!

The scenario in 'Vampire Fleets' would be a fun one if you have a party of players that are patient.

In the Poznan System

The flight time from the gas giant to Poznan is 60 days (covering some 3 billion km), even considering that Wanderer can maintain 1g acceleration for 41 hours. That'd run the tanks (including the aux tanks) dry.

In the Poznan System

Hmmm... I had no idea we were so far out in the system.

A microjump may be called for.

Yep, you don't have nearly the fuel tankage for a brachistochrone trajectory, so a microjump is definitely the way to go.

Re: In the Poznan System

Ok we'll eat and then microjump.

Did the old records indicate that there were any stations around this gas giant?  We could do some investigating while we are here if there was anything.

Re: In the Poznan System

There was an unmanned weather station in orbit, but it's last known position puts it on the other side of the planet. There's no sign of a broadcast, either.

Re: In the Poznan System

We'll pull up out of the ecliptic to get a view of the far side of the planet and then do an active ping to see if it is still in orbit.  After that if we get no further signals from the system we'll micro jump to the main world.

Got it. Wanderer will take about nine hours to reach 100 diameters, arriving at that point at 2000 ship's time.

The Ship is named Wanderer, JR...

I keep writing "Wayfarer" in the game posts, instead of Wanderer. I went back and edited every one I'd screwed up on. Sorry 'bout that. :-(

Killing Time

OOG: Does anyone have something in particular they'd like to do while Wanderer travels to the 100 diameter limit? It will arrive at 2000 ship's time.

If not, we will skip ahead to that time...

Poznan - Intrasystem Jump

If you want to do something specific during the week in jump, please post it.

If not, I will assume that you all immerse yourselves in your studies and routine work.

Wanderer's library contains overviews of the twenty-three systems along the main, from Montezuma to Possin, including Egg. The overviews are mostly basic tourist information and points of interest, and are in addition to the navigation charts for each system.
