The cheapest hyperdrive capable ship I know of for the old Star Wars RPG is a class of medium freighter that sells for 17,500 credits. Other ships sell from 25,000 to 100,000 up.

The cheapest Jump-equipped ship available in Traveller costs several million credits, and has a monthly upkeep of thousands of credits. The value of a credit is roughly the same in both games. So, in Star Wars ships are sort of like... transport trucks and pleasure boats. In Traveller, they are more like airplanes, so far as I can figure.



Speaking of rockets! sassy_fae got me a Mentos Rocket for my birthday! We launched it today, in the interest of determining the superiority of liquid-fuel launch vehicles over solid state boosters... It was not a complete success. The rocket reached a maximum height of about 2 inches.

Frame by frame analysis of the high resolution descent video enabled recovery crews to focus on a smaller search area during their second sweep.


The stray rocket was found entangled on the corner of a roof, aproximately 105 metres from the launch site. Temporary allocation of a step ladder and broom from the homeowner allowed full repatriation of the Mousehold I probe.
