Travel time

[Zukeenee]

What stops a planet from moving away from the tradelane?

Magnets and string.


But travel-time and distances go right alongside relative sizes, two-dimensional planes and static solar systems on my list of things that I just let Freelancer get away with. I just avoid talking about the subjects in-RP because I know they make no sense.

That said, I still think of most journeys in Sirius as taking at least slightly longer than they're portrayed in-game. For example, maybe the trip from Bretonia to Rheinland only takes a few minutes in-game, but in-RP, I might consider that it'd take an hour or three to make the trip. Something of a halfway-point between "realism" and the actual portrayal of events.
