You forgot

-Travel takes no time, but requires cooldown.

Or you could limit the range of travel a la Traveller or 2300AD.

I compared the tactical and interstellar FTL speeds and if my figures are right they don't seem to agree. Perhaps someone could check them for me?

FTL travel, with a d6 in FTL the ship takes 33 days (1 month more or less) to travel 1 light year.

1 light year = 300,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 km
33 days = 60 x 60 x 24 x 33 seconds

Speed = 300,000 x 365/33 km/second or about 3,318,000 km/second

At the tactical scale the ship travels d6 AU per round (1AU = 150,000,000 km, 1 round = 6 seconds).an average of around 75,000,000 km/second


If I'm right then either crossing interstellar space will tak much less tme or else tactical combat needs to be slower

Thanks for the heads-up. I will double check this tonight.

Am starting the compile of the updates for the final release whiel the setting book 'The Lantern' is at the editor's

Each round = 6 seconds
1 AU = 150,000,000 km
Average of d6 = 3.5 = 525,000,000km / Round

Therefore in 33 days a d6 starship can travel:

Round x 10 (1 minute) x 1440 (1 day) x 33 (33 days)
525Mkm x 10 x 1440 x 33 = 249,480,000,000,000km

1 Light year = 9,460,730,472,580km

So, in 33 days, the d6 starship has travelled 26 Light Years!

But, I failed math at Uni ; ) Twice!
