No, but a double hull gives your internal systems and crew a margin before they need to worry too muc about hydrogen inflitration. If you're making shortish trips, you probably don't even have to worry about scrubing it out. Just vent to vacuum when you get there. Don't traveller ships have magic force fields that make this pretty irrelevant? -- David Scheidt [email protected] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
