Excellent,
And the stations will appear in normal flight? I've noticed that it's impossible to catch a station that's moving away from your ship on it's orbital path, since it's moving much faster than your ship can chase.
I will have to test out what happens if you travel towards a station as it travels toward you in it's orbit, will it come closer until you're 100 clicks away and then I would start to move relative to the station?
I had the computer do some maths for me (I'm an arts grad, go figure
),and it looks like it would take 27 hours to travel 100 light seconds at 300 m/s.
I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for time acceleration in single player, or failing that, a time acceleration mod or a speed increase mod at some point down the line after release.
I love the idea of (every once in a while) consulting the galaxy map/orrery or whatever it's gonna be called and plotting a route to intercept a planet's orbit and flying there with no aids, although I'm not sure I have the stamina for real-time! I'd definitely do it at a factor of 10 though.
Don't get me wrong I really like the implementation of supercruise as it stands and obviously understand that for online play, time acceleration is out.
