Re: Solar Sail???????
And don't forget about tacking! Zig-Zaging at angles allowing a sail to gain thrust, making the overall direction to be towards the sun...
BTW, I made solar sails a normal engine type.. with low speed (but some bonous movement, which means a lot since I use the "Engines Needed per Move" field in vehiclesize.txt), no supply usage, and made them appear at Stellar Manip 2... reducing Stellar Manip to 4 levels, and reducing cost from 10K to 5K... Gives a nice alternative for utility vessels.
