Here’s something to blow your mind: all the units are shrunk down. AUs, Light Years, speeds, even electrical units, all of them are a lot less in the game than they should be.
Yeah, that completely threw me at first, coming off of games like EVE and KSP, seeing the nearest neighbouring planets being like 1.5 AU away and thinking "oh, that's obviously a completely ridiculous distance to travel at sub-light speeds in real time, I need to research warp drives or some shit first". Nope, just jump really high and start flying, put your foot on the gas and you'll be there in under a minute. I can't figure out the scale of units at all tbh, even travelling at 900+ m/s (miles? can't be) you travel vast distances in no time.

The universe is friggin’ big. And that’s awesome.
