Discovery Speed

[::Sirius::]

So I had a thought a while back that it would make the mod more enjoyable (more so!) if in the next version, the developers made everything in the game faster. (That old chestnut!). By this i mean everything is kept to scale but overall everythign just moves faster. I mean...who wants to spend 15 minutes staring at a screen while you cruise to your destination jumphole? I was thinking something along the lines of:

HF/VHFs: cruise 600 impulse 140
LF cruise: 650 impulse 160
Transports/freighters/capital ships 500. impulse 120

ofcourse then weapons like CDs, mines etc all need to be faster too. Im sure the devs could balance this.

What do you guys think? :cool:

Spend those 15 minutes reading infocards, lore, etc.

Balancing such a thing would be horrendous.

Play on windowed mode while trading. F2, Alt-tab, and do what you want.

Changes in cruise speed will require to rebalance many trade routes, since those were balanced with the current speed in mind.

So you can bet on a definite No. from devs, they have other things to do =\

That kind of speed would frak up trade routes. Hey look, 50 million in 10 minutes. Devs would have to change the prices... again. Besides, nobody is forcing you to take a jumphole. If you want something and it's only accessible via jumpholes, then it's your choice whether to get that or not.

What do you guys think? :cool:

That you do not realise how not everything is related to pews in this game.
