Cesodevo Avina	Up until this point, cross-terrain was always one hour at the fastest when one was in a star ship. Now, there was this big stink about how ships were reduced in ground travel speed. So here I am cross-terraining around, and instead of an 1-hour travel, my travel time is 12 minutes. So, did I miss something here? When did 1 hour go down to 12 minutes? Or is this a bug? ____________ Time to go to war with the Flame Tigers!

Mikel von Bianchi	It has been faster all along. If you noticed before, it always gave you a 1 hour ETA, which then changed as soon as you started based on speed and skill. But 12 minutes... not sure. Possible I guess. I was testing the ETA bug on dev in an A-wing and I got it down to a few minutes all the way up to 8 hours. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Cesodevo Avina	It's always been exactly one hour for me, both in ETA and in actual travel. Up until...well, just now I guess. But from what I remember, all ships had the same travel time (1 hour), regardless of piloting skill. Hence my current confusion. ____________ Time to go to war with the Flame Tigers!

Mikel von Bianchi	No, many people got down to 48-56 minutes or so. According to the rules, 12 minutes actually seems rather possible if you're in a ship that can do 1000kph+. Movement Rules “Movement Calculation: Distance between squares is 200km. (refer to City/Terrain layer for speed) - http://rules.swcombine.com/?Movement#Moving_from_one_City/Terrain_Grid_to_an_adjacent_one ” “Ship Speed: The maximum speed for vehicles is equal to 10 *(sublight speed) km/h... - http://rules.swcombine.com/?Movement#Ground_Movement_Calculations ” Actually, going by that, 1000kph covers 200km in exactly 12 minutes. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Cesodevo Avina	Then does the fact that I always, always, had 1 hour, mean that I was bugged (again)? Even so, right now I am not in a ship that does 1000 km/h (but instead 900), and my ETA is still 12 minutes. Edit: Still, even by going with what you say, going from 48-56 minutes down to 12 is a stretch, so was this changed with the speed rules?

Ellias Aubec	Ceso, maybe you were in a city? Speed of ships in cities are restricted to 200 km/h max, leading to a 1 hour travel time. ____________

Cesodevo Avina	I was in a city, yes. But when my travel time was 12 minutes yesterday, I was also in a city. ____________ Time to go to war with the Flame Tigers!

Josh Jericho	iirc, the distance between cities is 200 km. Before, ships were restricted to 200kph on the planet surface. Now with the new rules your ship is going 1000kph between cities. (If 10x your ship's sublight doesn't equal 1000, then it's probably a bug. As at 900kph your ETA should be about 13 min.) Edited By: Josh Jericho on Year 9 Day 250 12:38 ____________

Ashura Harma-Dead	Ceso, same as you. 52 minutes before, 21 after with my YT-1210. It seems that with the new rules on vehicles, ships aren't restricted at 200 km/h as they were when doing crossterrain. So my ship now do 550 km/h, that is 2.75 more than before, and explain why it takes only 21 minutes now to crossterrain. Actually, it makes ships a lot more useful on ground. The ETA and speed bar is bugged tough. ____________ Former Wraith - Former Valeo Exarch and SRE Master Trader Former KDY 2IC

Cesodevo Avina	Hmm. So I guess it is a bug after all. I don't think it was intended to make ships 3x as fast in cross terrain than before. ____________ Time to go to war with the Flame Tigers!
