variable drive

Yes, travel times, badly edited post, as usual...

Calculus - didn't do it, did do Physics*, hence problem. I'm tempted to study it but "yield not unto temptation" is burned into my subconscious.

If the opinion of those who have studied calculus is that doing this thing (drive G that varies as you travel to or from a mass) is just too painful for gaming I'll go with the "orbital booster" version and stick with plain old reaction drives for the deep beyond (high orbit+)

*"...Infinity. About fifty feet or so..."
