Default Re: What is the Business Model for the X-Boat Routes?

Ok - I was able to find what I was looking for. While the information has me scratching my head a little, it does appear that there is an error for the TL 12 Xboat with Jump 4, 100 dTons hull.

The data I was looking for was under the "Communications" module, where each module grants 50 Terabytes of information storage. With 3 modules, the total becomes 150 Terabytes of information. Oddly enough, the "Errata" needs to take into account the fact that the storage space is 50 at TL's 8-10, but goes up by x10 per TL thereafter. Consequently, the storage space is actually (per the rules) 1500 Terabytes.

So, what would be a good price per unit of memory per parsec of journey?

For reference? A copy of the book "GURPS TRAVELLER" is about 30 Megabytes in size. I largely suspect that data courier work is going to be a self-sustaining business.
