1
3 +1D
10 +2D

If you base your assumptions on the Atlas, one particularly big contradiction is the travel times from Endor to Bespin and Endor to Dagobah. Bespin lies in the middle of the way between Endor and Dago ...

I have a mostly complete house rule that gives ships Endurance Dice in place of Consumables. The rule is structured to treat the need to refuel more cinematically, in the sense that all of the math ...

Sometimes I think the values in the Gazetteer are just made up, other times I think they used some way to derive them. Anyway, it is also possible to use the grid system. Just counting grids, no matte ...

Oh that's interesting. Is there a rule somewhere for the restricted operational range of starfighters? I think most players wouldn't play it like this. But with the original table and hyperspace trave ...

Okay after some additional expanding the spreadsheet and tinkering with the values, I see two set of numbers which work well. A perfect match with the table is not possible, since it was designed, bef ...

Does anyone know how travel times were treated generally? The were reset from days to hours earyl on, but then we have a map like here with explicitly stated days of travel time. Is this supposed to b ...

I love the idea of using Daniel Strains map, and I think I've found a way how to use it.

The thing is, I see two problems with it.
