Let me try to understand this.<br/><br/>A strategic turn is 30 minutes.<br/><br/>16 of those turns have passed.<br/><br/>We were traveling at 20 VU and would probably have gained at least 4 or 5 VU in the first turn.  They are traveling at... 8VU.<br/><br/>By my calculations, we would have caught up to them in 2 hours, unless they were traveling faster.<br/><br/>If they were traveling, oh... 16vu for example, we should have caught them in about 5 hours.<br/><br/>To catch them in 8 hours, they would have to be going at at least 19 VU the whole way with a 100 VU lead.<br/><br/>I had anticipated this when I suggested we give chase, knowing how far the warp point should be from a planet... I figured we'd have gobs of time.<br/><br/>Can we have some sort of reason for the huge mistake?  Say our navigator got her test wrong by about negative 50 or something, and we spent several hours going the wrong way?<br/><br/>Or the Dildo tried to cut us off... or something?<br/><br/>I can understand the reasoning behind making it a last minute desperate attempt...<br/><br/>But honestly, we're not flying a slow battleship... this ship is supposed to be FAST.  I should have hade tons of time to make fancy maneuvers and pull a few from the edges before any kind of desperate rush.
