The Kilrathi most probably didn't name the Hari systems, seeing that the most of them were never used. The names you see on the map are just ConFed's own naming system, since they had no contact with the Hari. The Kilrathi might know the planets names, some of them, hidden in some dusty database, but they're really not essential information.Iceblade said:--man those Kilrathi sure are creative about naming systems: Hari1(1) Hari1(2) Hari2(5) and all in the Hari sector --
johnhawke said:still sounds like bad design to me. Once again, I think the computer would compensate for that. You mean they have to reset the clock after every mission that involves a jump?
Hey in WC2, couldn't you just look at the mission clock in the Navigation screen before you jumped, and then check it after? That would tell you how long you were in jumpspace right? (WARNING: CANNON HOLE DETECTED!!!)
You said to remind you in six days - it's been 8.
REMINDING LOAF...................
As far as I can tell, jumps are virtually instant in terms of shipboard time (excepting for the WCA cartoon). However, since jump lines are basically a form of wormhole, this does not necessarily mean that they are instantaneous with respect to the outside universe. In other words, you might find yourself minutes or hours in the past/future since the two ends of the wormhole are not "simultaneous". Indeed, given what we currently know about wormholes and relativity, it is quite UN-likely that a wormhole would stretch across space but NOT across time. Thus, the statement of "The Tiger’s Claw dropped from jump-space seven hours ago, at 08:00" would be a reference to local time, not shipboard elapsed time (much like in air travel you have to adjust for the local time).
Maybe they don't want to pay overtime to the pilot for just sitting there and playing poker on jumpspace.
By the way, from which system is he coming from to get to Vaka?
