There is considerable difference between jump control one and six programmes, and technological level(s) availability might have been a natural cap on core computers' potential processing power it may be that I had been lulled by previous editions that implied you don't have to pay for the jump control programmes, but I would have to look that up.ĬT LBB 2 1977/1981 page 41 Computer Software List Routine Programs Probably one of those issues that tends to get spread under the rug. The maximum bandwdith, if I'm even close, would be 45 for a J9 drive which would give a Computer Core/40 a total processing score of 85.

Would the total processing score for a Computer Core/40 be 70 since the lower Jump Control would be using only a small fraction of the processing score?Īnother question concerning the Jump Control Software follows since HG 2e PDF page 14 allows a jump drive to make a maximum jump of 9 parsecs at TL 18.Įxtending the Jump Control Software I believe the J7, J8, and J9 data would be: The software list from CRB 2e PDF page 151 has the maximum bandwidth for the jump control software as 30 for a 6 parsec trip. "The Processing score for a computer core is in addition to the processing power needed for Jump Control programs and all Jump Control software is included in the price of the core."Ī Computer Core/40 has a basic processing score of 40 without all of the Jump Control software bandwidth requirements.
