High Guard requires a power plant to power up the jump drive. Book 2,
from 1981, requires a power plant of a size equal to the jump drive (but
doesn't say why). The X-boat breaks the rules from this point.

MegaTraveller removes the power plant requirement, and TNE/FF&S
continues this.

'Tis a mess.
