Starship Communications (R212H)
A starship may use its communications equipment provided the ship is not destroyed. Communications equipment is
foolproof, and will never break-down. There is no fuel used, and no Hypercharges are needed. Any qualified starship crewman
may operate communications gear.
Communications travels at the speed of light. A ship using sublight drive in a star system moves at about the speed of
communication, making interception up ahead very difficult. Communication at a planet, including to orbit or space station,
is virtually instantaneous, as is communication between starships. No communication is possible into or out of an activated
stasis unit. There is no normal communication from one star system to another.
