So how FAR is one move in the game….amount of meters?!

…und…

How much TIME is one turn?!

…Vielen Danke

Well, the Xwing is 12.5 meters long, according to wookiepedia ( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/T-65_X-wing_starfighter ). So I would guess a 1 straight is about that far.

Probably best not to think about it. As said above, the Straight 1 roughly coincides with an X-Wing's length. However, considering the speeds these ships are flying at, a round would be fractions of a second.

It's a system means to evoke the feeling of starfighter dogfighting in Star Wars. it's not meant as a simulation. It falls apart pretty quickly in that regard.

Just like a 40k game that takes 3 hours to play would take about 5 minutes to actually fight, X-Wing games that go an hour would probably take about 20-30 seconds to actually fly.

Under a parsec ^,^

A parsec is a measure of distance, not time.

overall…just watch Star Wars and see how fast the fight scenes go…

True, but the base moves from front to back so a starfighter moves about 25m using a move 1 while a large craft moves about 37m.

Wooki (and the old PC games )also states that an x-wing has a max speed of 100MGLT and an atmospheric speed of 1050km/h.

I can't find a definitive answer on how fast that is, so I will use wookies estimate from the PC game again of 100MGLT= 100m/s (aprox).

If we call that maximum combat speed then an X-wing has a max forward movement of a 4, so it's distance traveled would be (4x12.5 + ship length 12.5)62.5m. If that is at its maximum combat speed of 100m/s then a game round is 0.625 seconds.

Disclaimer: I am making a number of assumptions and my math may be bad

well…I can't help you with that…;-)

All I know is you can't "out slow" and Xwing….not yet anyways!!
