OOC Discussion #5
In reply to Nightmare (msg # 8):
The NPCs will generally (but not always) await input from all PCs before taking a dramatic action.
You could fly there faster than you could walk, though you'd have to leave Hadrian behind with the others. There are probably ships on the platforms but you can't actually see them from where you are to confirm this.
Your thrusters aren't designed for long overland flight on a planet or moon -- they're really more suited for being in zero G. Your suit's battery has 20 charges on it. It takes 4 charges to blast off and 2 per round to maintain flight (at PR speed, which is 4 areas per round), which gives you a total range of 32 areas on a full battery, at which point you'd lose all functions of your suit that require energy charges to operate.
Those numbers are for Earth gravity, though. Titan's gravity is much weaker than Earth's, so for our purposes we can assume you only need to use, say, a quarter of the usual energy to achieve the same effect. That means you're looking at 1 charge to blast off and 0.5 charge/round to maintain. This increases your range to around 150 areas, if my envelope math is even close to accurate.
The compound is about 100 areas away, give or take (I haven't mapped out the whole planet in area-sized chunks, but that feels about right). So you could fly there and have some juice left in the tank afterward if you wanted to, but you couldn't get there and all the way back on the same battery.
