I'm afraid so.
My favorite FTL jump-drive explanation is that jumps get longer and more efficient the farther you are from a gravity well. So it might not work at all when you're on a planet, it might take you a couple jumps to leave your planet's orbit, a couple more to leave your solar system, but from there you're one jump from a bunch of solar systems. I mean THIS game doesn't have any such explanation, but it's a nice way to sweep all the distance problems under the rug.

A starfighter is just a fuselage that hasn't had the less deadly bits shot off yet.

So in this universe space is filled with air or did I miss something with our protagonist sitting on an asteroid with no helmet/headgear whatsoever? :confused:

The whole game is a snuggie-induced nightmare experienced by Mertens as he fitfully sleeps through people being shoved out the airlock directly across the wall from his bunk.

It's over! If anyone needs me I'll just be sitting on the moping rock.
