Alderson drive! TNE called it a keyhole drive.

Must it be Lanthanum? (2016)

I heard of Vargr jump drives using Barium instead of Lanthanum. Is there a canon evidence of this? What are the differences, in functionem & in the rules?

No idea. Can ask around.

Hey, where did you hear that?

I believe it is in DGP:Starship Operators Manual - a comment made by the "Old Timer" in a textbox.

Jump Drive Phenomena (2016)

How about some weird conjectures about the nature, color and solitude of jumpspace? Ghost ships, Winkles, ghost fleet, Lanth Abyss, relation if any to psionics, etc.

It's all unknown. Agent talks about some of it.

Droptanks? (2010)

Should some mention be made of droptanks, as a possibility (I suspect a GM may or may not allow them, or may allow them for part but not all of the fuel...)?
