Playing for both sides adds to the difficulty to acquire a rank promotion for either.

The time taken to travel the maximum range is always exactly one week, with shorter jumps taking less time.

Travel within a star system occurs across realistic distances at realistic speeds, and therefore even with the fastest ships capable of more than 10G of acceleration, intrasystem travel can take many hours. Therefore the game provides an "accelerate time" function that makes game time pass at 10, 100, 1000, or 10,000 times the normal rate.
