Well. If Battleships could cruise faster... they would hit more rocks probably. It' harder to stop it hitting rocks in cruise now. If we put it up by TOO much the Battleships just would not be able to move through rock fields... Spend all day playing Battleship table tennis with the rocks. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.. and so on... :crazy:

Actually most, if not all, battleships go thru asteroid fields better at impulse speeds, or at about 40.

Cruising thru open space is slow and boring.

Yes. But you CAN cruise through rockfields atm. It's not imposible. Just is really boring. And takes a while.

:lol: it's faster if you go at impulse and manually help the autopilot... I flew a Rh Battleship through Major, Minor, Omega-5, Omega-11 and Tau-23 (wherever there were mines, I went through them, not to mention the pesky fighters... :D)

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

Half-offtopic: Couldn`t asteroid crashing could be avoided if rocks were as docking rings? Or at least only the core of asteroids be considered "crashable" ? :unsure:

Good luck. I sit around and mess with the discovery mod all day, but a portable jump hole? It's easer to make a Sirius plaza sector that connects almost every system.

Ps: I don't that thats possible, maybe the Crossfire team or the Ioncross team could do it, but that would require months if not years of reworking the Hardcode. (Stuff in there that they don't want to be reworked for risk of someone messing with the game slightly, adding a mod, changing the name, and sticking it out there to sell) I'll be glad to try, but I'm not promising anything.
