Either a distance (relative to the Earth) or a time (experienced on the ship) may be specified. If the time is specified, the ship is allowed to accelerate at the indicated acceleration for the time indicated. If a distance is specified the ship is allowed to accelerate until the distance is covered.
Earth time is the time relative to the Earth. That is, the amount of time a person on the Earth would say had passed.
Ship time is the time relative to the Ship. That is, the amount of time a person on the ship would say had passed. This is the time according to the ship.
Interval time is the time actually experienced by a resident of the ship.
Earth distance is the distance a person on the Earth would say the ship had travelled.

The Maps

The map of the crew's quarters, the cul-de-sacs (see the story), Gustave Station, and the Lodge Paul made shortly after the end of the first novel is given below.

The Tools

In addition to the maps of the gustave station above, there are a number of tools available.
