Hyperspace
I was just wondering if it would be possible to use SPEC for hyperspace. Does SPEC support intersystem travel? If not would it be a lot of work to implement it? Of course for intersystem travel SPEC would have to be a lot faster---if I remember correctly the Victor Star Destroyer is capable of doing 127 light years per hour...

@Beowulf a look at how the Star Trek mod does it might show the way.

Hm, if I understand correctly you just get transferred to the next system if you cross a system edge in vegatrek. I'm not sure this is the right thing to do in the Star Wars universe since there is the Interdictor Cruiser which can force you out of hyperspace somewhere along your route without you being aware of the fact that he is waiting for you. In Star Wars you are effectively blind in hyperspace. Would vast distances be a problem if I put all star systems into one vegastrike star system? There's also the problem that realistic hyperspace travel wouldn't exactly be fun to the player since it would take hours to reach your destination. Time compression would be an option for single player games, but not for multiplayer. We could make the spec autopilot take care of traveling so the player is never in hyperspace for longer than a few minutes before he reaches his destination---which would neglect the different speeds at which different craft travel but that would be a sacrifice I would be willing to make...

Basically yes, if you tend to avoid code work.Hm, if I understand correctly you just get transferred to the next system if you cross a system edge in vegatrek.
If there is nothing similar in VS, then you'll have to do code work anyway.I'm not sure this is the right thing to do in the Star Wars universe since there is the Interdictor Cruiser which can force you out of hyperspace somewhere along your route without you being aware of the fact that he is waiting for you.
Assumably not, simply modify spec to respond much faster and go much faster. Besides that, you cannot collide with an object in spec - try to ram a planet, the game automatically decreases speed.Would vast distances be a problem if I put all star systems into one vegastrike star system?
I just thought about cycling through nav points this way, like Yavin, Endor, etc.
On the other hand you'd have real preformance problems, for all ships would be fully calculated. Hmm... maybe the idea is not that good.
