That's not too hard, space is really big. You'd probably plan your trip in
limited distance runs, stopping every so often to check that you're on course,
making corrections and then go again.

use these symbols to mean that we can ignore certain variables. How much
greater or lesser than it has to be to use these symbols depends on the
problem you're dealing with.

Not hard, but necessary. That was my only point.

Yep, that's what i figured, and it fits nicely into the type of campaigns I
like to run. :-)

Duh. Was it really that simple? Now I REALLY feel dumb.

Can you illustrate that point?

That makes sense.

That's not me doing good math, that's intuitive survival instinct. ;-)
3B^2
In my variation of the universe, I am using a Jump-Drive system that
uses the gravity well of a star or planet to jump to another star or planet.
Entrance
points for a jump are at 2.5 radii from the star/planet and at a 45
degree from the magnetic axis of the body. The exit is at 90 degrees from the
magnetic axis of the star/planet at the same distance. My only trouble
is
that I havent had time to use/refine the process.
