Default Distances in SE IV
How can I calculate the distance between star systems so I�ll know which GQR level I need to open a WP to the desired system...

So: how far is "one square distance" ?

thanks

If I recall correctly one square is 10 light years.

And don't forget your Pythagorean Theorem!

True Distance = SQRT( horizontal2 + vertical2 )
