Drive cost in AUGG
Quick opinion question here. Thanks to the author being kind enough to answer a few years back, I know one typo slipped into AUGG. I'm now wondering about hypergravitics and cruise mode/TLT. The cost is prohibitive; plus both have the word "total" in front of the cost, which no other drive does. I'm wondering if cost per ton was an error and the cost listed for both is actually a total cost, no matter how big or little your ship is. The section about FTL did indicate that travel could still take months or years without one or the other, so it would make sense that the cost would be within reason.

Re: Drive cost in AUGG
The Text of the HyperGravtics says that it is an add-on system that has a flat cost.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

The fact that modules have a fixed size.
