K and M in space.

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.

All I can say is if I had to use a slug to measure force, or a foot-pound to measure torque, I'd change my major.

Wait, I thought slugs were mass? Oh, jeez. I need to study more.

So how about those megagallons, huh?

[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

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

K is a thousand. M is a hundred. Duh?

Unselie gave you right answer there...

[Zig]

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.
