Re: Traveller and modern electronics
And if it isn't fit for the planet you're heading to, how are you going to feed yourselves once the food you brought with you runs out?

Re: Traveller and modern electronics
The most compact way to carry seed that will be fit for the planet you actually reach would be in the form of a brilliant crew of plant geneticists with a fully equipped lab.

Re: Traveller and modern electronics
Assessing soil compatibility is one of the things the Scout Service would do before the planet is opened for exploitation. Occasionally mistakes will be made and colonies will fail.

Re: Traveller and modern electronics
That will be carrying the seeds OF seeds of plants to eat. That will take far longer to reach end products and not my idea for short term plan A.

One of the great advantages to carrying colonists as popsicles is that you can delay defrosting them until there are plants to eat.

Re: Traveller and modern electronics
Y'know, I thought it was obvious that this was a rhetorical question... but I see some plotbunnies in the answers to it, so I'm not complaining.

Re: Traveller and modern electronics
Has anyone read Marc Miller's Agent of the Imperium and its thing about the wafer technology & skill chips?
Does it change anything about the Third Imperium from what you've read? |
