The distances between planets are too short

[levas_007]

I feel like the distance between planets (15 000 km currently) should be higher. The trip feels a bit short in my opinion, considering its set in space. I had 6 thrusters on my first travel platform, with the speed being limited to 200 km/s.

its kinda unfortunately short because it has to be. the long voyage comes later, which you have to slow down for anyway or die to ups goblins.

Geostationary orbit on Earth is 35,000 km. Distance from Planet Nauvis to another planet is less than half of this. Nobody talk about this in closed test? For me this is important and need fixed. Travel time - for me isnt important (we need remember about spoilage important, and expiration date, longer travel will break this mechanic).

I don't think it would be possible to have realistic distances, realistic speeds, and remotely reasonable travel times between planets.

If the distances were realistic it would be like hundreds of millions of kilometers to reach another planet. At that point it would take like 10 minutes to reach another planet even at the speed of light. I think it would feel extremely odd for the floating scrap piles the engineer makes to travel anywhere close to the speed of light, especially because there would be noticeable relativistic effects at those speeds irl.

Just imagine there are as many extra zeros as you deem fit at the end of all distrance readings. The add the same amout of zeros to the speed readings. Problem solved.
