I believe I heard Tony say, that the diameter of a system will take about ~10 mins to travel using the quantum engine. How long with will it take to cover an entire system. Are system maps spherical?[..] Load

I understood that it is only going to work linearly and so no waypoints allowed, and that one has to "know" the destination cohordinate in order for it to work and it can only be initiated in a quiet [..] Load

Wait a sec! How can this be?speed of light, c = 300'000 km/s (roughly)quantum drive speed, v = 0.2c = 60'000 km/s so far so good, now, CR said it would take roughly 10 min to cross the diameter of a s[..] Load

Why are there only two speed thresholds? 1) Quantum Drive for 0.2c interplanetary travel, and 2) Impulse speeds for combat and faffing about (est. cap of 500 m/s)?I understand why the speed limit exis[..] Load

I know that the solar systems are supposed to be very large, and will take a long time to traverse even using the quantum drive. What do you think they are classifying as "deep space" when it comes up[..] Load
