Default Re: Opening Warp holes
When you order a ship to open a warp point, you can see the distance between the systems by selecting the source system, then hovering the mouse over the target system.

The only other way to determine the distance between systems is to calculate it, unfortunately. Each square on the galaxy map is 10 light years. Diagonals count, so 10 squares in a direct diagonal line is not 100 LY, but instead 100 * sqrt(2) LY (at most).

This NEEDs to be in the FAQ if it is not already. This is a valuable TIP. Do you mind if I add it to the tip section as well?

I have no objections to anything I post being added to the Newbie FAQ or the tips and tricks thread.
