Ludicrous Speed Indicator

According to science the relative speed of light is 186,000 MPs (miles per second) so the measured speed of ships should state the speed in Ls instead of C+ (multiples of C). which, as in the Spaceballs movie, is a Ludicrous Speed, [big grin] -- Going point to point in systems, especially long distance travels, gives the erroneous indication of going up to and over 800c - representing 800+ times the speed of light, :eek:
Please consider changing the indicator to report Ls instead of C+ in one of the 3.0 updates.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, but the velocity measures that we get in SC and NS are accurate. Ls (Light seconds) are a measure of distance and "c" is a velocity. Velocity is a measure of change in distance over time. When it says your ship is going 800c it means means you are going 800 times faster than light does, it isn't wrong.

Hey if parsec was good enough for Han Solo it's good enough for me!

Nah only joking, I blame Star Wars for screwing up peoples idea of distance/velocity measurements.
