 To push down trade that
 far, you need widespread "super manufacturing"
 -- nanotech, 3D printers, all-robot workforces,
 or the like. And any
 of those break the Trav
 background much worse than do big container
 ships.

That may well be true for T5's level.
But then it *is* the new 'canon', no?

However, I don't favor a level as low as T5, from what I've read on this list, seems to indicate.

I believe that there's a level, w/i the CT version, that has enough trade to maintain the classical CT background w/o breaking it as MegaTrav did w/ it's MegaVolumes of trade.
