It's the direct implication of Turd's argument and your own counter.
Turd Ferguson is arguing for a contraction of Supercruise dead time, and pointed out that objecting to Supercruise 'shortcuts', while accepting intra-system 'shortcuts', is inconsistent.
You say no it's fine, because the game systems are all made up (which we all agree on), but the distinctions between those systems are logical 'because physics'.
You've presented no other case. There's no point getting angry just because people raise issues with your argument ¯\(ツ)/¯
Still you do it. What is it that makes you take someone's remarks, mangle them, remove context and imply that the mean something which you can then try to present yourself as a smart .... over?
I repeat for the hard of thinking:
"have never said the game CANNOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE OF PHYSICS ".
I said, F D took concepts and invented gameplay mechanisms paying lip-service to them. So they have invented a system of jumping from one gravity-bound-system to another gravitationally-bound-system - the Hyperjump.
I am happy to accept the premise that from within such a system you cannot target anything other than another separate system with the FSD high-energy jump - something which others seem to want to do (mini-jumps). To provide gameplay in such systems they have made-up a travel mechanism loosely based upon the theory of an Alcubierre drive and so that travel mechanism is governed by gravitational forces. Thus my riposte to @TURD's "
"..argument is completely without consistency or logic. You're simply trying to excuse and rationalize bad game design".
You take all of that and suggest I am saying the game cannot do things because of physics - but I am not saying that at all.
Now I hate to launch a spoiler into the whine-pool of "
supercruise is boring" but it should be blindingly obvious to anyone with two brain-cells to rub together that there is a decent probability of a new travel mechanism entirely being introduced to the game. No not "atmospherics" but Thargoid drives. Thargoids don't travel in supercruise and since it is beyond stupid to think they spend weeks, months and years travelling within a system in normal space, they must have a means of travel in "witchspace" that does not rely on the FSD's gravity-system to gravity-system targeting. So no doubt Professor Proton or Aegis will soon reverse-engineer modules for you to buy and "do your thang".
Now get off my back and stop mucking me about.
