Measurement Sirius - Alent - 06-19-2016

Well i had this question, half serious ( cause i want to know, RP people use US units (foot) for characters, but ships is SI(meter), half jokin question.

On sirius what measurement units is/should be used (not ingame):
  1. International System of Units (SI) or Metric System (metre/meter,kilogram)
  2. imperial and US customary systems of measurement (foot, pound)
  3. Or like on earth, use the one you like and get *tired* with conversions.

What people use for characters is their own choice. I once tried to use the fitting systems for the houses.

Meters is superior.

RE: Measurement Sirius - Cælumaresh - 06-19-2016

I term the ingame M's and K's and Megameters and Klicks ( 1000 megameters)

Obviously SI only. The other one doesn't make sense.

Please use the metric system and drive on the right side of the lanes, okay?

This^

The Imperial measurements are ancient and dont make sense!

You all wrong -- The Entire Universe is measured in it's mass, usually the stopping force per Kilogram times whatever and the rest is up to a small percentile of Joules.

So technically, you'd measure space itself as per cubic [ ft/cm ], planet or other matter bodies such as asteroids, stars, singularities and whatnot as Mass [ Kg ], and other stuff
like radiation, solar winds, and runoff electrical interference as Joules. On the contrary, you can call all this stuff... umm... well, like the four forces are represented as
specific EM band wavelengths, gravity dips, and resistances in pressure [ PSI ].... so there.
