So, what you're saying is that reactionless drives snuck into TNE
despite
Frank's prohibition? :-) That's kind of ironic, but also kind of
inescapable, as we had already established repulsors in earlier
editions,
and tractors were just a higher-tech extension of that. I don't
recall if
anyone ever realized that or not.
Frank used to try to insist that any game we put out should "only
violate
one law of physics per game." That sounded good, but in practice,
that was
impossible in an SF game that attempted to cover SO MUCH of the
existing SF
literature as Traveller did.
