Sorry, I was referring to the 'Thruster Plate" style Trav. Seems
closest to
FT. But I do sense a fellow TNE enthusiast - or am I misinterpreting?
It was
the 'thinking being's SFRPG'.
Anyway, I have played DS2 with both traditional grav (LiteGrav - a
really good
hover) and TravGrav (reactionless flight & hover). LiteGrav is a
marginal
increase; TravGrav is a exponential change. Try it and see why TravGrav
is
the Wave of the Future!
