good afternoon commanders

i was wondering if ,when injectors are used is the speed relative to the ship your in , yes bit of a geeky question but im twiddling my thumbs with a fuel leak and god knows how many parsecs to the station

Are you on 1.73? Just ramp time acceleration up to something like x8 or x16 and you'll get there before you know it.

A slow ship wont travel as fast as a faster ship when using injectors

err yeah i am on 1.73 but i only fly . lol i have no idea how to ramp up time ha ha yeah i try to play it like the spectrum version

Only if it's a very slow ship and a very fast ship.

As a ballpark figure, fuel injectors increase max speed by about x7 or so.

Or, for the more technically-minded engineering types, a factor of exactly 7. :-)

Pause the game, then use your left/right arrow keys to slow down/speed up time...

(handy hint for the day; Bullet time (slowed way down) makes it lots easier to get awesome screenshots!)
