In at least some space designs I've seen this is done with a fusion rocket for high impulse maneuvers and an ion drive, mag sail or light sail for long term acceleration. Instead of a fusion rocket it could be a nuclear impulse drive (bombs!) or antimatter. Anything with high power but limited fuel or reaction mass. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
