Noah,

     The EOS concept we are using does not make or need that type
of calculation or accuracy.

1) EOS to any planet in the system equals one (stratigic) turn.
2) Planet to planet in the system equals one (stratigic) turn.
3) Stratigic hex/EOS to adjoining hex equals one (stratigic) turn.

     FTL sensors located on planets in the system can tell the 
system owner the direction of the incoming ship.
(This is all based on the well known 'rock in pond' theory of 
wave motion.) 
1 sensor gives the notice of arrival.
2 sensors gives a choice of two hexsides for the arriving ship.
  (Two points determine a line to one of two hexsides.)
3 sensors gives the specific hex/direction of entry.
  ( three points determine a circle with the incoming ship in the 
   middle.)

Bye for now,
John L.
