It's essentially Asimov's Foundation FTL drive, the hyperspace Jump. It takes a lot of time to calculate the right settings, then the jump to the next location is instantantaneous. It's hard to do a space show without FTL, so at least they're not zipping around the universe willy-nilly. There are real limits to how quickly you can get to the next point in your journey. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
