Traveling

This contains information on traveling, it will tell you how to travel, and some other rules. There is another topic called Travel, its a different Topic, and it shows the map of the galaxy, and it has Travel Times.

There are rules to traveling, not much, but important

Rules:

1. The Unknown Regions are called the unknown regions for a reason, they haven't been explored, and NO ONE knows what is there. There are planets on the map, but they aren't discovered, and if you discover one, which is HIGHLY dangerous, then you can map it on your Navigation Computer.

2. During your travels, you could be attacked by pirates, the chances are relatively low, but in Wild Regions, the chances are higher. And in Unknown Space, the chances are high.

3. You HAVE to use the template every time you travel.

4. If a Star Ship has no Hyperdrive, then it can't drive to other planets.

5. To Travel, you need a hyperdrive, the Hyperdrive has a speed. If its 3 Days, and your Hyper Drive has a speed of 0.5, then you divide 3 by 0.5. This works with ANY Travel Time and Hyper Drive speed.

Thread Title: Fleet / Battalion / Star Ship Name

Admiral / Owner / Star Ship Pilot

Ship Name 1/Class
Ship Name 2/Class
And so on

There is a separate Template for actually traveling, first you make the topic with the template above, and then in a different post you use this template to travel.

Fleet Name
Sector ( Planet ) - Sector ( Planet )
Speed: (Only as fast as the slowest ship if moving a whole fleet at once)
Arrival: ( What time will you arrive? )

Transportation

If you have mines for minerals on planets, the minerals have to go somewhere when you mine them. So, you must have transports assigned on a route between the mining planet and the planet in which you want to drop off the minerals. All you have to do is post this:

Planet Destination: (What planet is the transport going to?)
Time Between Takeoff: (How long does the ship stay at the planet before coming back?)
New Destination: (What planet shall the ship bring the minerals to?)

When posting that template, what you are doing is making a route for the transport, so that it always does that, and you will no longer have to post that template, because it is set on that route until you take it off. What it does is send the transport to the mine to pick up as many minerals as it can, and come back to the planet it was at earlier, or another planet of your choice, and drop it off there.
