Re: Yrth In Spaaacccceee!
I tend to prefer hyperdrive to be instantaneous for the passengers. None of Traveller's, "you spend a week in jump space and nothing happens." As this is a space opera setting we'll just handwave causality. However it might be that the hyperdrive manufacturers have built in a "time sump" that causes the ship to sit in hyperspace until time catches up so to speak. Big corporations might want to protect the stock markets from time travelling spacemen, so to speak.
It does occur to me that Yrth could be a planet in GURPS Space. It might have higher mana level but that doesn't really mean it isn't out there somewhere. Of course, the people there still think it's 2017, their time keeping is a bit off.
