Now I'm not saying that dubstep has no place in traveller. There is one setting that seems made for dubstep: 1248. I can just imagine all those vampire super dreadnoughts with Lucan's personality blasting dubstep, trance and techno as they scour the pesky humans with nuclear fire. But then again, that's 1248 for you. Or as I call it, "Traveller The New Era 1248-- the Heretics Heresy."
