Time for Something Totally Separate
first off, any of you read the halo books and/or played the halo game? Remember the shaw-fujikawa slipspace jumps. the ones that are highly innacurate for the humans, and although you travel at lightspeed, you might wind up far from your intended destination? And how lethal it could be to do an in-system jump? 
Wait till you see this
For those of you who HAVEN'T read the books and/or dont always do multiplayer, do you ever get bored after singleplayer because of the length of time it takes to travel, and all those tradelane hacks...
Well, for both categories, do i have the mod for you!
Introducing the shaw-fujikawa translight engine mod! What you do is you create a waypoint to wherever you want to go. i suggest putting it a tad bit in front of the target (meaning a bit more in between you and the target than rather the target destination itself.) so that your deceleration time wont cause you to hit a damn object. Then, hit the go to button, and your done. Depedning on distance, you should arrive there almost instantly. This allows fast, easy travel in a system such as say manahtten. Sure, a lot of cargo ships and AI players wind up hitting planets and stuff. Not my fault they are morons.
I STRONGLY suggest NOT using this in asteroid fields, for your own safety. Also, when you are on missions, start to decelerate maybe 6 klicks before a waypoint, and thruster the rest of the way so that you dont pass your target.
and thank god this mod isn't abusable in multi. XD
anyways, the file will be up at TLR soon. Id have screenies, but lets just say theres not much to take a photo of.
and one more thing, if you wold like to see yourself in case you want to avoid obstacles, i suggest going into turret view when you hit the cruise engines.
for all of you who want to know how i achieved this, i more or less set the cruise speed to, um, 300,000. It actually seemed to be a perfect number based on system size. Its fun to travel and watch how fast you pass by stuff
also, this is untested in the singleplayer campaign, but do to the fact that you often go through ice fields and the like, i suggest uninstalling it for singleplayer missions and reinstalling it for between missions when your trading or doing random missions.
