We’ve had to overhaul the map view and map system to allow you to plan a continuous acceleration trajectory, and of course we’ve had to add a couple more levels of time zoom because many of these voyages take years and we don’t want you to have to literally sit at your computer for years.

 

Actualy to me it sounds like they were referring to two separate things.

namely better acceleration is one thing 

And a couple more levels of third zoom is another

No need to get angry with each other over differing opinions about the game, folks. Back off of the tempers, please.

They need a solution for constant thrust trajectories, frankly.

The idea that some are "slow" doesn't matter, interstellar travel using anything that is not plainly magic will still take so long that the time wapr will need to be improved, anyway.

constant thrust trajectories confirmed!

Although internally we’ve had a bet around whether someone in the community will attempt to run an interstellar mission in real-time! It would take years, but if you have an extra computer that you don’t want to use for anything for a while…

 

If solar sails aren't around by launch, I assume they'll definitely be modded in very quickly.

 

*edit

looks like someone already mentioned this. Whoops! Still exciting
