 Look at when
 the rules were written and the influences.  I don't
 want
 Traveller to be a "hard"
 science fiction game that adheres to only what
 we know today and poo-poos anything beyond that
 as handwavium or magic
 because I don't
 want to play 2300AD, High Colonies, or some other
 "hard"
 game.  I like the sci-fi
 aspect where things we don't know today, or
 don't even conceive of today, are possible
 tomorrow using concepts that
 to us are what
 a 747 or SSN would be to someone from 1000AD.

 A lot of what I've seen on
 the TML is a projected bias that if science
 today can't explain it, then it can't
 be done.  To me, that takes away
 some of
 the fun of the game.

 Just
 one gamer's thoughts.
