This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is there a way to make this economically viable in Traveller?

Is there no more Traveller Mailing List? That, historically, was the place for pointless arguments, like mapping 2-D hexmaps to real 3-D star maps, and the like. Hmmm, twenty years ago, I guess...

No idea. I never visited many RPG sites or fora until recently

As for two-dimensional hex maps, I always assumed that since we're mapping distances based on jumps rather than actual spacial/spatial relationships,  the maps weren't meant to be representational of actual locations. But we can argue pointlessly about it if you like. :p

Still going.

All such questions I only answer in-game. I say, "It is indeed a mystery. Now what will your character do to solve it?" It usually turns out the player's not that interested after all.
