Default Re: Fuel and Range

These measurements can help to choose what the various tech levels will offer. Without a good measurement, it is possible to get trapped in a bottomless well of "everything should cost more, and provide less". Speeds above warp-4 produce a total movement of about 40 for a ship, and vary the time in transit between 7 turns and three turns.

The clearest view I can provide, so that you can decide what you want the game experience to be like along the whole timeline. What is the maximum length of a deep-space mission? How does that change over the course of the technology timeline?
