Hyperdrives

[nHammer]

In the Terran Empire book, pages 159/160, there are write-ups on hyperdrives.

The write-ups use T'port w/megascale, which is all good. What I don't understand is, why do the write-ups have the Cost Endurance limitation? Teleport normally cost endurance, so it shouldn't get that limitation.

What am I missing here?

I don't have my books with me right now ( I know shame on me ) but I believe normally vehicle movement doesn't cost END.

As A.E. points out, Vehicle movement by definition costs no END. Therefore if you want a starship's drive to draw power ()END) from its engines, power generating system, etc. (END Reserve), it needs the Costs Endurance Limitation.

Now that you mentioned it, I do kinda sorta remember reading that.

I thought maybe it was something I just forgot.

Thanks....
