Editing RULES (section)

=Flyin' in the Verse=
Flying from one system to another (distances are as follows):<br>
[[Image:Distances.jpg]]<br>
A Ship can travel 1 AU * SPEED Every 18 Hours<br>
<br>
Summer's Gift is Speed Class 5 <br>
So it can travel 5 AU/18 Hours = 1 AU/3.6 Hours = 6.667 AU/Day = 46.667 AU/Week<br>
Ex. JiangYin (Red Sun) to Angel (Kalidasa)120AU (432 hours/18days)<br>
<br>

<br>

Available for "Rent" or "Purchase" are standardized '''Fuel Pods'''. Each Fuel Pod takes the place of one Cargo Container and adds 5 tons of fuel capacity of flight time (+120 hours on Summer's Gift).<br>

*Fuel Pod Rental = 5 Credits / Week + Fuel
*Fuel Pod Purchase = 100 Credits. 
Fuel is separate. <br>

'''Pulse Beacon:'''<br>
A transponder found on starships that sends out a pulsed signal on three frequencies (two wave, one radio). The signal is easy to detect, even at long range, but contains little actual information other than the presence of the ship itself. Originally, a starship's pulse beacon contained a unique code which identified the ship and contained its most recent navigation data. During the Unification War, Independence forces used this data to both spoof existing Alliance and unaligned vessels, and to keep tabs on Alliance transports. Since then, the Alliance has uncoupled their ship's data from the transponders. Two years after the war, the practice of spoofing data codes in pulse-beacons was so wide spread, as to be near useless in tracking illegitimate shipping. And the practice of turning off the beacon became a danger for collisions especially in the heavily trafficked core trade routes. So the Parliament voted to make all Transponders transmit only a generic code which was useful only for doppler distance, and vector analysis. As such the Pulse Beacon is standard issue and used primarily for air/space traffic control, collision avoidance, and emergency tracking. <br>
'''Registry'''<br>
An electronic device (black box) with ship ownership data encoded in the ROM. This device is roughly equivalent to the VIN of a modern auto and can demonstrate proper ownership in the case of dispute, piracy or salvage. The Registry also includes various licenses, repair, and inspection notices those these are used primarily for resale rather than official purposes (except in the case of Active duty Alliance chartered vessels and the military). The Registry can be accessed by Databook, but only modified using specialized equipment. <br>
