SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: S'mon;959999Asimov was certainly considered 'hard sf' back in the day, and the Traveller Imperium is basically his Empire.

I'd say you're confusing the Traveller rules with one possible setting for Traveller.

You could say it, but that's kinda dumb. I said the Traveller Imperium resembles Asimov's Empire.
Personally when I've run Traveller I've mostly used homebrew settings, but the Traveller Imperium setting is a thing.

A thing that's been very contentious from the moment it came into existence.  Really, if you consider CT the core it always assumed FTL, anti-gravity, and grav plates and made no provisions for other systems in the core.  There was even a lovely dust up on the CotI T5 forums over NAFL drives which are a gravitic drive that can approach C, not a realistic reaction drive.

Actually what I said is kinda smart, accurate, and corrected your assertion, which is presumably why you feel the need to be insulting. It's okay to be wrong sometimes. The Imperium was not part of Traveller in the beginning and the rules you are describing were in place before the Imperium and resemble Tubb, Norton, Vance, Chandler at least as much if not more than anything from Asimov.
