[QUOTE="Capn Charlie, post: 7143216, member: 16046"] The class 10 shows an o jective passage of time of four months per lightyear travelled, not seven. This means that the fastest ship can travel a light year in a third the time it takes light. This is not a lot of ftl, and this is intentional. Most of the ftl jumps made in the setting are a dozen ly or less. In actual play at the table about 300 years earthside elapsed over nine levels of play. A gulf of time and space lies between the stars, and that 100ly jump in a class 10 sees 33 years pass back home while less than two weeks pass for our heroes. On the return trip the same happens. A couple of months older, our spacers return to see six decades gone by, and lovers buried or in retirement homes, their six year old daughter could be a great grandmother. This is what pushes spacers to keep travelling, despite their wealth and influence. Sent from my MT2L03 using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205]EN World mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
