Maneuver Drive Fuel Requirements
Is it safe to say for GURPS Traveller, that Fusion Power Plants are self sufficient (and require no fuel), therefore there is no requirement for fuel load out for maneuver drives or power plants?

Yes, that's correct.

Re: Maneuver Drive Fuel Requirements
Obviously not in the case of starships. They still have jump fuel requirements.
GURPS Traveller has a number of differences from other versions that make it difficult to take the deck plans from those other versions at face value. The most serious is that streamlined vessels have 20% less interior volume than non-streamlined, for the same nominal tonnage (GT, p. 151). Dropping the power plant fuel requirement actually helps offset this somewhat for small vessels. Traveller deck plans (of any version) are more artistic than exact in any case, however, so you're probably fine to just ignore the differences. |

Re: Maneuver Drive Fuel Requirements
Not really. Every Jump still requires 10% of the ship's dTons per J-number. That's a lot and I don't remember M-Drive fuel being very large in comparison.
