Can I fly from a space station in Earth orbit to a space station in Lunar orbit without engaging my quantum drive? Or will traveling between such points require the use of the quantum drive?asked by Kommissar
TL;DRSpace will be one continuous map, so you could fly between Earth and Moon orbit without quantum drive, but at normal speed it would take days, so most players will use quantum.
That is a good question. So the way we're setting up the solar systems is one of the big reasons we went to large world. It's gonna be one continuous space – there won't be separate maps for each area. So there won't be, like, an orbit around Earth and an orbit around the Moon. But they will be very far apart from each other because, obviously, scale is pretty big. So while we won't be realistic size for a solar system, it will be relatively compared to what you're used to in a game, but massive.So if you went to fly at our normal speed, it would take days to get to another point of interest. I have no doubt that there will be diehards who do that, like the one person who went across the Minecraft map for forever. But generally, you'll wanna do quantum drive to get there to avoid taking up all that extra time. But yes, the system would be able to handle you just flying and flying and flying if you wanted to.
