Supercruise will enable you to get from one point of interest to another seamlessy in a solar system, the whole warp thing in Alpha is just a placeholder thing until the Travelling and Trading in Alpha 4.0

So if we imagined traveling from Earth to Jupiter, how would we do that in ED?

Would it be an instantaneous jump? Or would be go there super fast?

The following article suggests either, although hyperspace would be the best method, because if we used super-cruise it would take hour(s) - http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7892
 
We'll have to disagree there - first person wandering around or not, inside the hanger is the one place I would really like to be able to see an outside view of the ship in context. For me this actually enhances my immersion/involvement rather than breaking it. When I first saw it, it looked like the station comms had established a connection to the ship and was showing me a feed off the hanger surveillance cameras - excellent!

That's an interesting slant on it, maybe a way to sell those cam views would be to have it as surveillance cameras doing a viso & radar check to the hull for minor damage? Be nice for them to actually find something as well and zoom into it telling you something has been found. That keeps the immersion/involvement and makes that involvement actually mean something other than just eye candy, no? :smilie:
