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

So, 6-7 ly/day standard, 29 ly/day max possible.

That means a priority courier chain could arguably go around 25+
ly/day. That makes frontier to core in about 2 days. News
organizations may well use this for key stories that just have to make
it to Core and the military will. (Outbound might well be a bit
slower....)

Worst case, at 6 ly/day, you're only about ten days from the human
frontier or maybe 7 depending on which edge.

The ability for news to move across human space to the movers and
shakers in 2 days (or 4 days if you want to go from one end of human
space to another) isn't really a huge delay. It should allow
relatively rapid reaction by 'prepared' forces.

The general public may take longer to hear about stuff, unless it is
critical news being fast-routed. That may take some days.

Thanks for the references, folks. I'll take FB1 as being the most
recent and hence authoritative fluff. (yes, that is oxymoronic I
suppose)

Thanks.
