Phase Lane Question

hiya

new to galaxy forge, everything working ok but i have come across a problem

sometimes ships travel between phase lanes waaay too fast, like under 5 seconds on a long lane when the smaller ones will take 20+ seconds

just wonder where/how to change the jump time on each individual lane

Really, there is a difference in speed depending on length, or have I been under the assumption that all ships travel in phase lanes at the same speed. Not sure you can edit the speed of each phase lane individually.

I don't think you can... For some reason, I was thinking that ships always spend the same time in the lanes, their speed is what changes instead...  I don't know where that came from, but it seems right for some reason...

i guess i didnt explain the problem properly sorry

im pretty sure they take longer depending on how long the lane is

now lets say for example

______________________ this line takes 5 seconds to cross

___________________________________ while this line takes 8 seconds to cross

my problem is

__________________________________________________________________________ a ship travelling on this line in certain areas will make the entire trip in about 3-4 seconds while other areas with the same distance will take about 15 seconds

it just doesnt make any sense

It may have something to do with the individual ships...  There may be some that jump faster.  I wish I could give you a better answer, but phase jumping is the one thing I haven't tried to mod...

hmm ok i just got back to messing around with it

i think i accidentally overlapped some stars, so i think what happens is if you add a connection from one planet to another thats in another star system you jump super fast to it,  odd

would be nice if someone could figure out how to change the speed of ships through phase, and at different lines, would make for interesting travel mods.

I think star radius and galaxy scale also factor in to it... Im pretty sure the overall length does as well.
