Yet another annoying feature (but predictable, so less severe):
Distances just over 162ly (i.e. 162.04) are often calculated as a 2 year trip. A similar thing happens when I plan to settle at warp 8 and the distance is 128.01


I can't comment on the first point, as I've never seen it happen!
If you've set the speed after splitting, then the speed should not change unless it runs out of fuel.

As for the second point, I believe that's a well known "bug".
You can actually travel a fraction of a light year further than you would expect at any given Warp.

It's a rounding error.... Rolling Eyes
