K and M in space. - Camtheman Of Freelancer4Ever - 09-27-2009
If your a physcisist, THAT smart, you should convert them in your head instead o complainin' lol
I doubt the devs will fix the distances, they've been borked for a while now and nobody has done anything.

I've played X2 with what are, I imagine, something approximating actual sizes.
In the time it took to cross a system I could take a nap.
They had an ingame method where you could speed up time.
Can't do that so much in a multiplayer game.
I'm happy with my borked freelancer distances.

Wait, I thought slugs were mass? Oh, jeez. I need to study more.
So how about those megagallons, huh?

... you're right. They are mass. Force is measured in pounds....

I refer to K as "klicks" and M as "milliklicks". Sure, "klicks" technically describe kilometers, as well, but that's quite obscure knowledge - besides, "klick" is a nicely generic yet futuristic-sounding unit of measurement.
