Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
Yeah, you need an opener to access that screen...
Like SJ said, the only other way is to manually calculate it...

First of all, no one would build anything but the hightest lvl component anyway  . And remember to put a repair bay on it.
But, more likely what you are concerned about is building, say lvl 1 (100 sectors) when you don't know if it will reach and if it doesn't, then wait till you have researched lvl 2 before you build. Upgrading them is expensive. So, until then, you are left with SJ's formula (a squared plus b squared = c squared). (sorry)

This brings up a totally off-topic modding question -- if you put the "Emergency Energy" ability on a component (the ability that Emergency Propulsion uses), will this require that that component be repaired over a spaceyard? |

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
Hmmm...I've never tried this, but what if you put an emergency pod on a craft with a repair bay? Couldn't it get repaired each turn after you use it so you could keep using it? Maybe I'll try this tonight...

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
I believe that repairing an Emergency Resupply Pod in open space was considered an exploit and removed. Hence the SpaceYard requirement in recent Versions.

He's right. Once it's used she gone. I don't know about a spaceyard though.
