FTL Cutoff	2.45	1,225.49	20.42	0.34	Stutterwarp efficiency drops below Faster-Than-Light pseudovelocities, due to the Sun's gravity well. This is the boundary between the Inner / Outer system zones.

Note:
* The radius is measured from the center of the planet, for the orbit's height subtract the radius of the planet's surface.
** Pluto's orbit is very elliptic, sometimes it is within Neptune's orbit. The figures here are the average AUs. Pluto has no discharge orbit ( it would be 901 kilometers from the center of the planet, which is still below the surface).

AU = Astronomical Unit(s) - approximately 500 LS or 8.33 LM
LS = Light second(s) = the distance light travels in one second - approximately 300,000 km
LM = Light minute(s) = 30 Star Cruiser hexes per minute
LH = Light hour(s)
LY = Light year(s)

Note: The 2300AD Director's Guide on page 62 has an error in the formula for calculating the Stutterwarp thresholds. It is the square root of ( the planet's MASS divided by either 0.1 or 0.0001). They mistakenly say planet's SURFACE GRAVITY. Only by using mass, do the numbers generated agree with the distances given on that same page.
