[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6096164, member: 92305"] Luke: [B]What a piece of junk![/B] Solo: [B]She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.[/B] I've always wondered about the "point five" thing. What does it mean? In WEG's Star Wars RPG, this has actually become part of the game. Each ship with a hyperdrive is rated with a hyperdrive multiplier. This stat reflects the speed of that particular drive. ".5" or 1/2 is the fastest in common use. "2" is the slowest in common use at the time of the original trilogy. What this means is how fast the ship will navigate through hyperspace. If a trip is plotted to take 10 days, then a vessel with a hyperdrive 1 will make that trip in 10 days. Hyperdrive 2 will make it in 20 days. The "point five" Han was referring to means that the Falcon has a 1/2 multiplier--meaning that it cuts standard trip times in half. If the trip normally takes 10 days at hyperdrive 1, the Falcon can do it in a mere 5 days. Solo: [B]She's fast enough for ya, old man. [/B]Interesting handwave about the Star Wars universe. I get this from the Star Wars RPG, WEG's version. It says: [B]Most of the weapons used in Star Wars cauterize as they wound, so people rarely bleed to death or die of infection. In addition, medical technology is fantastically advanced, so even the most severely wounded character can be healed in short order, if medical assistance is available.[/B] [/QUOTE]
