Default Re: GURPS Spaceships for THS conversions?

wabishtar, I have noticed you seem to become embroiled in snarkiness with some regularity. As for why, I'm not really sure, although effectively calling people ten year olds after they are snarky to you certainly doesn't help defuse the situation.

In this particular situation, I know Agemegos has his degree in economics, and can sometimes be easily annoyed by people, in his opinion, misusing economics to justify what he feels is faulty reasoning.

As to the main thrust of your argument, I agree that nuclear pellets will likely be much more common in TS, and jet fuel much more rare. I still see no reasonable way that jet fuel will cost double the price of those nuclear fuel pellets, even considering taxes, restricted supply, and public repugnance towards polluting. The process to manufacture the jet fuel is far too simple and requires very common elements, while nuclear fuel pellets use some relatively rare materials. My suspension of disbelief can't take the price differential, unless an entire moon composed out of heavy elements was discovered.
