<p>Page Created</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{QuoteText|Text=As Robert Holdstock was left to his own devices (mostly) for the Trader's Manual for Elite, he coined the phrase LM to mean Light Mach, but it's long since been agreed that since injectors and the Torus drive allow you to go silly speeds, LM cannot be the equivalent of Mach since most ships on injectors would be going FTL. Therefore, it is assumed that LM is some kind of normalised, sales pitch kind of figure that doesn't actually represent a fractional part of the the speed of light.|Source=([http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=141378#p141378 Daddyhoggy (2011)])}}<br /> <br /> Note, that even if injectors and the Torus drive ''were'' FtL, it would still take years to jump from one system to another (with a handful of exceptions such as [[Sector1/Laeden|Laeden]] &amp; Legees in Galaxy 1 - and that travel too would take much longer than a jump).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> *[[Geography]]<br /> *[[Distance (Oolite)]]<br /> *[[Time]]<br /> *[[Astronomical Unit]]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Factual]]</div>
