Re: "Newtonian Acceleration" Advantage? Hum, yeah . . . But the thing is that I've got at least two kinds of propulsion for spaceships -- a gravitic drive and thermal rockets (fusion and fission). The thermal rockets are built with Extra NCM Multiples and Fuel Charges, and I started out building the grav drives with Extra NCM, too. But I started feeling that the NCM route was too 'stiff,' y'know -- it's an Adder and costs the same regardless of the original Flight Move -- and so I figured I'd introduce a customized Advantage instead.

Re: The Last Word How bad are they?

Re: The Last Word I guess they do, come to that. I think I bought mine for something like $200, two years ago. should be able to get it now for something like $120. Plus, I only pay for what I call -- no fees beyond that.

Re: The Last Word Do you have a mobile phone with Internet capabilities? That and a palmtop computer should do fine! Speaking as a complete novice, o'course. ^^

. . . I'm mulling over my Hard SF campaign again, and I've got a litte question: In Star Hero, p. 187, under the optional realistic acceleration rules, there's a mention of a further optionality -- establishing a flat cost for the Cumulative Advantage for Flight, and not imposing an upper limit other than the speed of light. So, in your opinion, how much should this Newtonian Acceleration be worth? I figure somewhere like +4, since that would cover a Cumulative Flight multiplier of x32,000, and most ships in my campaign would have little use of more. Opinions?
