Re: How fast are SE4 ships. OT: How big is a system?

I find that interesting. As for comparison also, escape velocity for the earth is about 17,000 miles/hr. c = 186000 miles/sec.

If you do the conVersion, escape velocity is on the order of 2x10^-5 c.

So our current spacecraft speeds are roughly 1000 times slower than SE4 spacecraft.
