If I have accelerations that let me travel a parsec in a month, then I have enough acceleration to go anywhere in the galaxy in 20 years. Barring navigational hazards, of course: there may be a practical top speed based on the density of the interstellar medium - if you go too fast, even that near-vacuum will be too much to handle. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
