[TML] Firefly, wait no it is a Subsidized Merchant ship.

Since it appears that most Traveller ships will float. Land them in large
tanks of water or other fluid. This will evenly support the hulls and also
give Traveller starports an appearance different to starports from other
games.

It probably also means that vessels with a displacement of greater than say
1,000dt do not land except in emergencies. I suppose these could land in
actual "sea" type ports and tie up at piers. This would have an interesting
effect on merchant ships, hatches would end up on the upper surfaces for
example. Normal container loading techniques could be used or for bulk cargo
just poured into the open hatches on the top, like current bulk carriers.
