The shockwave reached the GDrax node in under 15 minutes.

Your entire argument rests on :v: being good enough at physics to position the sun correctly.

In other words it's probably wrong. :p

Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
And how do you know that there werent any uncharted nodes in Capella?

Doesn't matter.. The saths have to jump to that node and hten jump out one by one.
If you give em an hour it's still not enough.

Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
That again gives some support to the Supernode theory as a Supernode would be big enough for all Saths to jump out at once.

Why? If anything you ought to be able to jump them out four at time or so, because subspace nodes have no directionality for entry, only for exit.

Somehow, I think that, for the Shivans, common sense doesn't apply in some areas.

Are you sure? I've seen Dragons emerge from the wrong end of a Knossos before (A Flaming Sword)...

The node is big enough to fit only one at a time..if two try to jump in at the same time there will be a colission.

Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
There is type 1 and type 2 jumps.

type 1 sorta whips you around the sun until you pull somethin like in Apollo 13 (i think, neveral understood that one as good)

type 2..... haven't you ever heard-o wormholes?
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

:wtf: And WHERE exactly did you get that from? We're talking about the FS universe here, you know.

Nope, they only have to jump with their exit portals inside the node. So you could have two get out at the same time, at least, jumping from opposite ends.

Uhhh..... what? :wtf:

The only type of jump in FS involves wormholes. There is no slingshotting around stars.

I have absolutely NO skill at physics, but what is this?

You're probably right, but that sounds suspiciously much like "It's a game" to me :P

One thing we know about subspace is that it is related to gravity. One thing we know about gravity is that it varies according to distance. Hence my theory that subspace is only stable enough for travel within a certain distance from a star. Sounds logical to me anyway.

Nope, they only have to jump with their exit portals inside the node. So you could have two get out at the same time, at least, jumping from opposite ends.

Except that the exit/entrance portal is in the center of a node.

And IIRC, there is no canon confirmation if one can enter a node from 10 different angles.

Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
Isn't there? You can enter from any angle during missions where you've got to exit through a jump node.

 
Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
Common sense says you could, Trashman. Jump nodes are spherical in shape, and in space there is definitely no real direction. You wouldn't be jumping in on the same plane each and every time you used a particular node.

Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
And yet every single ship always jumps out of the node in the same direction...

But regardless of that, simply because the entrance point is in the very centre of a node, 2 Saths can't go in at the same tim.e

No it isn't, play a mission like Into the Lions' Den or Apocalypse, fly right to the edge of the node, facing away from the centre and you can still jump.

Re: Is the GTVA pinned to subspace?
a fighter, maby...but for a capship....no. Every time a capship jumps it fill the whole damn node when it does so.
