Re: [GZG] How fast is FTL in GZGverse?

["Ryan GIll" <rmgill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the ftl jumps were to be instantaneous, but you had dispertion issues and you had recharge times on the ftl jump drives. Military units being faster to recharge and smaller exploration craft and scoutships having longer legs. Gravity wells were also an issue requiring that a craft jump out/into of system beyond a certain distance from a star and that transit time also being a factor in the game.

I seem to recall that the psb had the context of jumps between star systems being hard to coordinate, with fleets prefering to jump to preset coordinates in 3d space to adjust the gaggle of ships with formations for combat adjusted once you go to a proximate distance to a given system. Transit time into such a system being an issue again of warning for the system defenders.

Fuzzy max 1 yr round trip to Barnard's Star, just under six light years,
from FTII.

'2063 The first trans-solar probe is launched to (and returns from)
Barnard's Star.'

The Lafayette campaign rules from the same book have six light years of FTL
movement per week.

Did I win?
