Fleet Travel times

Hi,

Ive been sending my fleet on raid mission, and the same fleet would take longer to travel to a system more than 40 from my home planet, then to send to the next galaxy up or down. Does anyone know how this fleet travel time works, cause it seems a bit random sometimes.

:wall:

Cheers

The distance between one galaxy and it's neighbour is equal to 180 systems. A raid from 1:1 to 1:190 will take longer than a raid to ANY system in Galaxy 2.

Think of Galaxies like slates stacked on top of one another rather than side by side.

It is actually approximately 182 systems. In-between 182 and 183 ;) .

Now i've learned something new here, Thanks Istalris.

Just to clarify what you said "raid to ANY system in Galaxy":

are u saying, no matter what system u travel to in the next galaxy up or down, it should take the same time?

Yes he is.

Yep, part of what makes cross galaxy raiding so efficient if you have drained your immediate area.

Here's a crude but accurate image I posted on the old ACE forums a while ago. Helps to visualise the layout.

The above diagram puts it into perspective nicely, Thanks again Istalris, Most useful,
and cheers for your input too kick.

BTW
The standard universe only has 250 systems each galaxy, i usually hear their being 499 system, so im assuming thats
for the extreme or speed universe?

And that's why I shouldn't talk about things I don't know.
