Whats the difference between a Photon Wave Duration for 0 seconds vs 1 second??

Other than the obvious 1 second difference.
Is is possible to even use photons for entering sectors with a 0 second duration?

I would understand a turns game with 0 sec photons.. you could still take someones turns. But.. with the photon glitches in unlims.. what does a 0 sec photon accomplish?

I had always thought that 0 second photon duration indicated that photons were off. I had never thought about a turns game with 0 second ptorps and the sole use of taking turns away. Interesting though.

No, you would not be able to enter a sector with a 0 second photon. Your ship move time is greater than 0 seconds. It is hard in some games to get in with 1 second photons because you probably won't have a full second to enter the sector.

Ive never really noticed a 0 second photon wave duration either, so, maybe if the game has 0 sec photons... they are actually off like you say.

Just asked caused I noticed the 0 seconds in a couple games that Y-city posted info on for game rebangs.

0 second duration means no photons. Photons are disabled.
