Too bad we don't know the gravity level of the world in which a jump can last 15 seconds. If we knew that, how difficult would it be to determine how fast the suit went up, and how fast gravity would overcome that initial velocity, and then bring the suit back to the surface? _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
