I could have sworn I'd seen a way to do it before, but if I did, I can't find it again.
Is there a way to do date adjustments? For realism in my plug, you are supposed to start at one date, go through a series of space folds, and come out 5 years later. I thought there was an easy way to do this with either NCB's or Crons, but I don't think so anymore.
My current idea is to give the player an outfit for that jump sequence that modifies the jump speed by several thousand days, and take it away before the player can jump again. The only problem is that for that particular part of the mission string, the player's ship doesn't have enough fuel to jump on its own. All jumps are facilitated by capital ships that work like hypergates or Persons that offer missions that teleport you. Neither of these, I believe, increments the date. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Anybody have any suggestions/improvements?
