Well, sure. TL6 has submarines, which are air tight. What TL6 doesn't have are any of the technologies for closed loop systems. So a colony that lost its tech would be dead as soon as things broke down. I suspect that would happen before the desire to build inefficient vehicles came on. -- David Scheidt [email protected] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
