>Also would be useful to remember the Lagrange 1 point (between the
Earth and
Moon, or the Sun and the Earth, &cet.), where the local gravitational
force
is essentially null. There would be a region around this point where the
net
force would be beneath the threshold you specify. These points exist
throughout the solar system, and are in constant motion! Have fun... :-)
Good throught! Hadn't occurred to me at all--you win today's Sneaky
Player award.
What I'd intended to ask originally was "how far out do you feel the
Jump Limit should be from the Sun", meaning "how much of the system has
to be on the map for travelling through normal space" and looking for a
response like .5AU or 2.5 AU or 7 AU or whatever. I can calculate the
finagle factor (ie I can get Roger or Noam or someone to calculate it
<grin>), I'm just looking for opinions on where it should be.
