Id think that the SETA would increase the ship speed but not the pasage of time, like an afterburner :wink:

Ummm you do realise that this game is not X-Online don't you? It is called X2-The Threat and will only be single player.

X-Online is still quite a way away. :)

So it would be an afterburner, not SETA. Hard to have a time accelerator that doesnt accelerate time :P

Only other ways I can think of doing it is to greatly increase ship speeds overall or include a new type of engine that goes faster, but thats pretty much the same as upgrading your engines.

We shall see :wink:

I doubt that 'making ships faster' will be very practical, ok it could make it a little more realistic (e.g it takes a while to accelerate to full speed and the same time to slow down too) Would be good for rushing enemy strongholds. Would be bad for the control system. Hitting your nice shiny throttle to see you ship wizz off into oblivion would be rather disheartening (not to mention embarrassing in front of real people)

A lot of people have mentioned a freelancer style ‘Cruise Engine’ that comes bundled with a disadvantage of some kind. (i.e loss of weapons, shields (reminds me of turbo *holds head*)) but I think the way to go is Jumpgates. We can already use them to get to the other side of the sector but I think that they could be used to jump to a preset location inside a sector (providing your already in it). But that may be to easy.. Instantaneous travel *anywhere* hmm…

So how about we negate the time-altering stuff altogether? Why not use the time you aren’t online to move around? Set up a schedule of trade runs, and the servers will run them for you (in real speed of course) but I spose that would alienate the player somewhat :S Tricky. Very tricky.

We shall see

How about SETA that only accelerates the ship not the rest of the universe, but with all the other restrictions: Can't change course, doesn't work within 1KM of another object etc. Like the jumpdrive in the original Elite.
