A good portion of the year that point is in the star.
Also both planets have moons and lagrange points, full of crap, which will interpose more often.
And that presumes you are only going one orbit, Earth to Venus or Earth to Mars. Venus to Jupiter or Saturn gets really messy.
In general...
Space is vast. Everything is moving. At interplanetary, much less interstellar distances, travel lanes are impossibly large.
While you might be able to mine minute areas to protect a specific target, a dedicated ship for that seems rather wasteful.
IMHO the only true Player purchaseable Cap ship is the Javelin. Compared to the Bengal though, it really isn't even a Cap Ship.
Calling things Capital Ships is more a Marketing ploy than a legitimate definition.
From what I understand the Kraken is, at best, the equivalent to a jeep carrier or pocket carrier.
It is about Idiris size, so more Frigate than Carrier.
Something about the sheer power of running a combat vessel with enough power to rotate half the mass of the ship to generate gravity.
Earth Force Destroyers rock.
I never said any were fully finished.
What I am saying is that you should get more as time goes on, not less. Both Levski and Grim Hex are more fully realized, and have more playable space and features than the newer Loreville.
So since most people believe I am being unrealistic, I have a simple question, are you happy with the city of Loreville having less playable area than either Levski or Grim Hex?
