walking distance in Codex

[AndrewA]

During review my stats in Codex I noticed following characteristic in exploration section (mark white restangle)
My question. What unit use to measre distance: foot, inch, meter, yards or other?
Please notice: english is not my native language

Elite Dangerous doesn't measure anything in Imperial measurements. Only the U.S., Liberia, and Myanmar use that completely outdated and illogical system. The rest of the world are sane and use metric so it's safe to assume that distance is in meters.

Incidentally, NASA once lost a $125 Million Mars Orbiter because they can't tell the difference between Imperial and Metric.

IIRC the game uses meters or multipliers of meters (mm for distances in space and km for srv distance)

It seems broken

I already walked 600 Km if meters are used

I did some tests in the thread below

That Codex value seems to be in 0.5m steps

I am amused that Frontier haven't translated "Multi-crew" to Russian. There must be an equivalent, surely.

So that basically means it's twice the actual value, just like the CZ entries?

Half
500,000 steps > 250,000 meters > 250km
