Tsk tsk tsk, yes, we’re ignoring quite a lot of this, as it’d be annoying to manage :p

Also… We have a little thing called relativity So are the people who have been on long flights always asked to do Guthy Renker ads “You are 200 years old; how do you look so young?”

So, you’re ignoring time-space variance for non-hyperspace travel as well?
(This is what you get for encouraging me )

Subspace communications (or whatever) I suppose… we did consider the problem, but we finally decided to ignore it completely, as it’d be quite a mess to manage, both for the players and in the code.

I just wanted to make a point of this and make a jackass of myself

Critical success! ;->

Hey just out of curiosity… With normal travel, I understand hyperspace is different, how will you be able to tell your dude in the space ships what to do, unless you have some sort of much-faster-then-light communication device. So, I assume there is, I just wanted to make a point of this and make a jackass of myself
