Travel time

[Ranger66]

How long would it take a Earth Alliance vessel to go from the transfer point on Io to B5?

I would think it would take a few days per jump. If they take the long way around and stay off the restricted route, it could take upward of a week.

The restricted route is of course for military vessels...

But it's generally "at the speed of plot". It's a day and a half for a White Star, so probably 2-3 days for the (slower) Omega. Scale accordingly.

Its a civiliation transport having to use jumpgates.

Like frobi says, the speed of plot :lol:

Thanks for the suggestion. A week seems a logical time for a civilian transport. I looked through my copy of Earth Alliance book and couldn't find much info on speeds on ships. Though civilian stuff might be in the Merchant book coming.

There are travel times in the space chapter of the basic rulebook, IIRC.
