Thanks for the input guys, I am just trying to get an idea of what speed people "usually" travel at. I think they would tend to automatically set that speed. If you notice in JoeCorrado's answer he says 1/3 if he's going 5000nm etc. and M. Sarsfield gave me the most fuel efficient speed, which is good don't read this the wrong way but in my post I commented it is less than 1000nm from base, so I don't know if people would even pay attention if I gave a briefing or message that they have to be there at a certain time. And some like Nisgeis commented, if they don't know what else may come later they may use the most fuel efficient.
I just want to try to make the mission so that anyone that plays it can at least get there on time. The ones that go flank on the surface at 20kts will just have to TC until the action starts. Also what time to be there is one thing that is suppose to be unknown at the beginning of the mission. It won't ruin it, but it will lose some of the suspense. (and I'll have to change some of the messages and contact reports)
As for the spawning it is 20nm I believe but that is not a problem because they are on the way before you even get on station.
Again Thanks for the input.
