Default Re: Unrealistic Movement Point System
Not really. I can get up to 12 MP's per ship using Q engines and Solar Sails III. That'll take me clear across a system in 1 "month". I just need another MP to get thru a WP.

In some Sci-Fi in the 'near' future it takes a long time to move across a system. Didn't it take 13 months in the movie "Mission to Mars" (which was a pretty cheesy movie BTW)?And didn't it take quite a few years to travel to Jupiter in 2001? Granted they didn't have WP's but isn't there this thing called "artistic license"?
