The <i>Knight Hawks</i> campaign book, p. 15, says there are basic and deluxe astrogation equipment packages. The deluxe package is supposed to let astrogators plot interstellar jumps in less time than normal. Is this time savings borne out anywhere in the rules? How much time is saved?<div><br /></div><div>Page 14 says a spaceship's control panel contains speech and warning programs. I presume the warning program is Alarm. What is the speech program? Is it just an assumed interface with the computer?</div><div><br /></div><div>Now the big question. Computers in <i>Star Frontiers</i> verge on the sentient. Could a computer with high-level Analysis and Astrogation programs plot an interstellar jump without input from an astrogator? Is there a reason why not, aside from a metaphysical "requires intuition computers are incapable of" gobbledegook? (Can you tell I'm not fond of that answer?)</div>
