Is there a reasonable estimate of the speed and density of a star wind based on its spectral type? It would be nice to be able to determine what sorts of performance characteristics a magsail would have in other star systems. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
