I'm more concerned with CT/MT. I'll probably never grow out of
that. CG is described in much more detail in TNE than it is in
CT/MT. I'll read the Striker rules again. They go into more
detail. But the only CT/MT contragrav referrence that I saw outside of
Striker briefly touched on the idea that an Air/Raft could reach orbital
height in a throw away comment that never talked about acheiving
orbital velocity.
