Solution Set

If you figure out why the 100 diameter limit is based on gravity, but is related to the physical size of the object and not its mass...

You've also figured out dark matter!

Coincidentally, this also lets you cool your ship unnaturally well.

Traveller is a very internally consistent space opera, not a hard-science setting so just relax and let the meson hooks explode in your face.

    Good point. The more it gets too grounded in reality, the harder it is to play. Just look at what happened to D&D or Advanced Squad Leader, when it takes 5 books to figure out what happened in the last 5 minutes of play.

    It's nice to get the details correct, but 'overly correct' can suck as bad as lack of correct details.

    Hmmmm… Dark matter. Why not? That's what the scientists are doing, when they can't figure out stuff, they also seem to blame... Dark Matter.

    I'm confused where the ship cooling comes into play.
