Now to elaborate on how things will work.

To ensure that we keep things moving at a decent pace, a bed/sleep cycle will be used to skip time. Otherwise we’d be spending a lot of time really doing nothing. So basically how it will go, life as usual and when it’s stated that such and such is going to bed, when everyone goes to bed then time will skip to the next event. During this time skip, it is to be assumed that it is work as usual. Characters on autopilot doing their day to day tasks. This should keep a decent pace and the time frame period is going to be a minimum of three days and a maximum of seven days.

I’m doing it this way so I can be sure that everyone is ready to move on rather than it seeming that events occur in hours which won’t happen since each solar system will be different, with different security ratings and I am sure you wouldn’t stay in a low or nonexistent security system unless you are wanting to die very quickly.

The Market System will more or less be simple. You find goods at one place and sell them at another for a profit. Using the drones via the Mechanic is also incredibly simple but risky. Drones can mine, kill, scout, etc for whatever type of drone you have. These can be damaged and destroyed. Taking on side jobs, such as hunting a criminal work require a combat drone of any type, while there are drones that are non-lethal which are used by bounty hunters and slavers that can capture people.
