I'm gonna snap

Oops! And thank you also StoneDeadViking.

IMPORTANT NOTE! These LDS speeds are much more realistic...HOWEVER...I just tried the new .9c modifications for the LDS drive and I caculate it will take 1 hour and 51 minutes to reach Blackeye L point from Lucrecia's base in the Efrit. That's maybe too much realism for me...Before anyone goes through the trouble of changing out the files, decide if you are really this hard-core.

Today's lessen on scientific notation.

'6e10' is a shortened abrieviation for 6*10^10, which is 60,000,000,000. This is scientific notation, a way for shortening really long numbers. It works with the format A*10^B. A is a number at least 1 and less than 10. B is an integer.

This can also be used to abbreiviate really small numbers. '.0000000000006' can be written in scientific notation as 6*10^-13 or 6e-13 to go even shorter.

I know this, and I come from a country where we refuse to use the metric system.

If the first number is not supposed to exceed 10, will my entry into the program (27e7) still approximate 270,000,000 (i.e., will it still be .9 lightspeed)?

Humm i was gonna try it till i saw after Shanes post on how to change everything. Will that work or not? I wouldnt like to mess up all those settings.

Oh also, what would be the speeds for 1/3 and 2/3 the speed of light?

CHECK THIS GAME OUT!!!

LOOKS REALLY COOL

Of course it will work, Slipstream...I've already modified my game with no adverse effects (in fact, I've modified the LDS settings at least a dozen times, playing around with minimum and maximum velocities). I wouldn't advise anyone on a forum to do anything I have not tested on myself first...

The only trouble this could cause, as far as I can tell, is not being able to keep up with the AI ships. Please note I am in free-form mode. This modification would cause problems on any escort mission within the game's storyline.

And, while it sounds complicated, all you're really doing is changing one variable in each LDS file. Once I complete my Do-It-Yourself-Pog-Home-School-Course, I should be able to package it up as a mod if anyone is still interested.
