| Those of you who have seen the various //Indiana Jones// movies may remember the "red line on the world map" transatlantic travel segues. A good rule of thumb for roleplay is to imagine a trip between planets or between star systems to work the same way. Just like it didn't really take Indy two minutes to travel from the eastern United States to Istanbul, Turkey, it doesn't really only take you five minutes to travel from Luna to Thinora System. | Those of you who have seen the various //Indiana Jones// movies may remember the "red line on the world map" transatlantic travel segues.

| Above all, remember that it should take you as long as it takes you to get there while roleplaying the journey. And if you don't actually want to physically step inside a spaceship to take your trip, you can still use the ''**jumproom**'' command to OOCly move between worlds. Just remember that the IC component of your travel isn't instantaneous. If you tell Character Group A you're taking a trip to another star system, whether you use the jumproom or a spaceship to go there, don't show up the next hour/day and say "Hey! I'm back!" to Character Group A. | Above all, remember that it should take you as long as it takes you to get there while roleplaying the journey.
