Wow that actually makes a lot of sense. And I never actually thought about it that way either. Thanks for the responses guys. I'm glad I got them. Cause I love the game. Its just that was one thing that was always puzzling me. lol. Oh well. I guess its one of those things you just had to step outside that box and think about. Considering I didn't think that the fighter hyperdrive just referred to the battles and not the actual system to system travel. Thanks, TGS
