Except that is the answer to the question "Is your ship fast?"
That answer would seem to indicate a distance divided by time to indicate speed, with Kessel Run being the distance and 12 parsecs being the time.
If, the intention is that the Kessel Run is a time, and parsec is a distance, then the "less than" is an indication of slow rather than fast.

Creative visualization you guys came up with, but at the scale you suggested I think the Jove would probably have evolved past the need for spaceships or perhaps even a physical form. |

So you're saying we should buff the Gnosis to a strategic cruiser with it's own subsystems and 8/8/8 in all slots no matter what?

In the star wars universe, ships cannot go through stars and planets.
They must calculate trajectory that avoid them.
What makes Han Solo an awesome pilot is not an insane speed.
It's his hability to calculate an insanely short path. That's how he beats bigger, faster ships.
To take an analogy, it's like when you make a trip in 20 carrier jumps, and solo can do it in 12 jumps.

[geek on]
In the expanded universe fiction, it's explained that the Kessel run involves going close to a cluster of black holes. If your ship isn't fast enough, if you shave the distance too much, you'll be sucked into one and destroyed.
[/geek off]
Yes, it's BS, used to cover up a mistake by a sci-fi writer in a fairly popular film.

The way I see it, considering the Jovian Empire's isolationist mindset. All they've shared are literally their left over ****** stuff. The Gnosis is literally the equivalent of a ****** 1950's european car and we should be greatful we're even getting that!

Quote:[Excerpt from In-game Faction/standings tab information] The Society of Conscious Thought is three centuries old and was founded by a Jovian named Ior Labron, who was in search of spiritual enlightenment. The Society has since then taken many guises and been anything from a religious sect full of hermits to a political institute playing the power game. Today, the Society is mainly known for their scholastic achievements, their schools are widely regarded as the best ones in the world of EVE and rich and influential parents everywhere fight to get their kids admitted.

Yes, I know this. But I am also entirely aware that the entirety of that statement was retconned after about a thousand people sent Lucas letters telling him he was a imbecile for writing that. So basically, a total cover up for his s***ty writing ability.
"Is it a fast ship?"
...
"It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!"
Seems pretty clear to me.

Why do people think lightyear = time? A lightyear is a measurement of distance, the distance light travels in a year, obviously. |

You are lightyears away from even contemplating reading even a small portion of the thread, aren't you?
Also you guys are being too hard on Lucas. It's not like he's going back and changing the sequence of events that establish Han's scoundrel nature into an alternate version where a professional bounty hunter somehow misses a point blank shot from under a table allowing Han to justifiably fire back in self defence.
THAT would be messed up |

who really give a F'k about the phrase.
Miles ahead is a distance indicative
years ahead is a time indicative.
So there is nothing wrong with using light years ahead in the OP.
if you are reading it as a measure of time I suggest you plug in basic reading into your training plan asap.
That is the Way, the Tao.

Jeeze end this thread already 
End of the day its a SoCT ship and one of the founding members was a jove.
Ior Labron the Jovian student of Gorda Hoje founded the Society of Conscious Thought[1] in AD 23044 with the the primary aim of discovering the meaning of life.
If somebody gets a real jove ship you may aswell end EvE now as they will pretty much go around killing everything
and not get scratched.
The SoCT are a peacful thoughtful race so im dammed to understand why they gave us a 666 slot ship.
TBh they prob found the design in his hanger with no Jove modifications on it and decided to re produce it under NPC guide lines.
Oh if anyone says the Jove are dead there not ffs..........

Perhaps we are taking the meaning of light year out of context. What if OP was referring to the year being lighter than another heavier year. Of course this makes no sense at all and probably doesn't help the discussion one bit, but it's very late and I'm a bit punchy. |
