So if I try to get the Falcon to do the Kessel run in two Parsecs, Numbat will raise an exception.

Because that’s too short (12 parsecs being close to the theoretical maximum without being swallowed by a black hole) or because it thinks that you confused a unit of distance and speed?

[runamuck]

The latter. FYI - Han Solo makes that mistake in the Original Star Wars (A New Hope).

[bertil]

Han Solo’s quote makes sense if you understand it as a unit of distance, optimized by the onboard computer to be as short as possible, by dodging black holes, and therefore fast.

[runamuck]

Aha, Lucas claims he meant distance too.
