guess there is a practical limit to the travel time of
passanger liners.
People would take ships around the Cape to California.
My point was, that the longer the travel is, the fewer passangers will be
there. With several years of travel time, a dedicated passanger liner
propably does not make sense, and the few passangers would hitch a ride on
freighters or other ships.
BTW i did look the vehicle rules regarding maintainance up. As
i understand it, vehicles not under continous maintance have a
maximum operation time and every time you reach it, you make a
HT roll. That it only depends on the cost of the vehicle is a
very crude measure. If you replace the armour with one of
higher quality, you need maintanance sooner. Even that your
drive might fail sooner, because you added an additional
gizmo, is not exactly realistic.
The problem are vehicles with a maintenance interval of less
than 24 hours, but no on-board maintenance. Would a jet with
5 hours maintenance interval be unable to fly for 6 hours?
As i interpret the rules yes, a jet with a 5 hours maintanance interval
makes it's first HT roll at 5 hours, the second at 10 hours._______________________________________________
