These times will always be approximate as it will vary a bit depending on the system, affects from nearby bodies (gravity wells) may cause slowdown on acceleration. |
CLIENT DISTANCE MEASURED IN LIGHTYEARS
Every now and then, a Cmdr falls asleep in supercruise and wakes up to flashing red lights and a drained and shutdown ship on lifesupport. In really bad cases, the client may find himself lightyears from the mainstar.
You can calculate an approximate time for distances measured in LY using this formular:

---|---|---|
| ||
( distance in LY * 365d * 24h ) / 2001c = hours of travel + ½ hour to account for acceleration to max speed. |
Examples:
Client beacon is 0.1LY from mainstar: (adding a bit less here on result, since we likely won't (or barely will) reach max.speed)
(0.1 * 365 * 24) / 2001 = 0.44 hours (about 26 mins) + 15mins = About 41 minutes to reach client
Client beacon is 0.5LY from mainstar:
(0.5 * 365 * 24) / 2001 = 2.19 hours + ½ hour = About 2:40 to reach client
Client beacon is 2.5LY from mainstar.
(2.5 * 365 * 24) / 2001 = 10.94 hours + ½ hour = About 11½ hours to reach client
Going far distances in your ship will require quite a bit of fuel. It'd be advised to shutdown unneeded modules while travelling to extend your range, such as shields and anything else with a power consumption you might not require to continue supercruise. (obviously be careful not to accidentally shutdown your thrusters or frameshift drive and you'll still need your sensors active).
Estimate about 1-2t fuel per hour in Asp/Conda with everything unneeded shutdown at best.
