Thanks!
Interesting. I have always (since ~1977) thought that it was 3.26 light years (1 parsec) from center to center. That would make the "radius" (center to a vertex) 1.88216 ly and the "diameter" (vertex to vertex) 3.76432 ly.
Have I been doing it wrong all these years?

I did the same center to center for 1 parsed. I never imagined a different way.

I always wondered how that worked from the south side of a hex to the north side of a hex in a monojump, and then just gave it a twenty five percent leeway, after reading Interstellar Wars.
As a player, I'd more liberally interpret it as one hundred and forty nine percent.

The book specifies 1 parsec range per jump, and 1 parsec per hex. Measuring vertex to vertex will make the distance incorrect. It's measured center to center, which equals face to face distance.

Non-Jump Engines, conventional cannons, ground based lasers, remember the original serials were made in 1936, 1938 & 1940. Characters would have swords & lasers.
