[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3193805, member: 24357"] Need some help here, hope you all might be able to help out- For the longest of times I have wanted to start a campaign in space. The idea is that some thousand or so years in the future mankind has ventured to a nearby system, for reasons that are campaign based (I have Players that post and read here so please, lets not spoil it for anyone) the FTL drives are gone, no longer accessible to anyone. My problem is however that the system is 2 LY across (2 light years in diameter), but I want the characters ship to be able to venture from the core planets (1+ or – AU) to the outer space stations (1 LY out) in a reasonable amount of time- perhaps a few weeks or even as much as two months. Now the issue that I am having is that to do that the ship (and by default all space ships should have close speeds, though some will be slower and some faster) the PCs have I do not want to be able to do faster then about Mach 10 in atmosphere, while keeping them in the system (“hay, we can do 1 LY in X number of weeks that means 6 LY in X times 6 so we could be to the Terran system in G number of weeks”). Question- How do I accomplish my desired ship speed without seemingly being to much of an ass as a GM? [/QUOTE]
