But you could sit on the surface of any given planet/moon, accelerate time, and watch as the stellar bodies in that system moved through your field of view. Couldn't these be concieved as stellar/planetary orbits? Also, you could "sling-shot" around stars and gas giants, so that leaves me to believe there was some sort of "gravational relativity". Shit! Now I'm going to have to reinstall FFE just to prove (or disprove) my point. >>All Hail the Great Breadbin and pray for the release of Elite 4! > >Yeah, it could happen too. > Possibly..but in our lifetime? >>So moot let it be! =P > >Lemming
