This wouldn't be that hard with T5 -
It has the rules for "Canopy" powered J-drives as well as reaction drives.

There is no anti-gravity, the ships use reaction motors and land in water harbors, and jump is replaced by sailing through space.  Has anyone ever tried to build a ship using the various Traveller rulesets that mimics this?  I'm most intersted in the first two aspects, as the jump mechanism works well for structuring RPG sessions.
