Can any TP fit a jumpdrive???

Post by devils-advocate » Wed, 19. Jul 06, 23:30

Hey,

I keep seeing offers for tours of the universe in which i can gain over 100k per sector visited in 40mizuras (how long is a mizura btw?). Anyways i thought all these offers were too good to pass up, and so invested in an argon express, however when i took it to the goner temple i realised it would fit a jumpdrive. The jumpdrive is key as i dont wish to fly it about really, only for these missions, and so the jump drive is needed to jump it to where the offer is, the i get in it and accept.

So, are there any TP's which can fit a jumpdrive?

any TP with M or bigger cargo space can, but i wouldn't use a jumpdrive.

if you do on those missions, u lose about 90% of the money.
if you want the moeny, u have to fly urself

nah, i mean i just want the jumpdrive to get the ship to me in the first place, rather than having to wait for it to cross the universe first.

I believe the passenger for those missions are size M or L as well.

The hauler varients can carrier up to L cargo (I know the paranid and teladi ones have them, the split doesn't and I'm not sure about argon and boron).

I read that it's like this

1 Sezura = 1 second., 1 Mizura = 1 minute, 1 Stazura = 1 hour, 1 Tazura = 24 hours, 1 Mazura = 1 month, 1 Jazura = 1 year

There was a different conversion in earlier games, but it was too hard to use. So they are just seconds and minutes now. :)

Actually they never used the "official" conversion figures--the games have always had direct relation between seconds and sezuras.

Anyway, the standard TP only carries S class cargo and can't fit a jumpdrive. The Hauler and Vanguard variants allow L class cargo and thus jumpdrives, so you need to find one of those if you want a jump-capable TP.
