Space Travel

Space Travel (sometimes referred to as "Starwalking"), the journey to other worlds, might sound unbelievable to an inhabitant of Britannia. In the warped timelines of Ultima I and Ultima II, however, technological anachronisms had appeared that made space travel a reality.

Ultima I
In the First Age of Darkness, it was possible (although expensive) to buy a shuttle and launch into outer space. However, without Reflect Armour to protect the wearer, this was deadly. The Stranger used this unusual method of travel to reach a space station, where two classes of starfighters were available, each with different levels of fuel and armour. The Stranger headed out to different sectors and battled Mondain's alien allies to become a "space ace."

The Stranger had to shoot down 20 enemy fighters in a dogfight to achive this feat. Again docking, the Stranger then returned to Sosaria with the shuttle.

Ultima II
In the Second Age of Darkness, the Stranger could use a rocket in the time of 2112 A.D. Aftermath to travel to the various planets of the Terran Solar System. This time, Reflect Armour or Power Armour was needed; after entering the XYZ coordinates, each hyperjump of the rocket would use up one Tri-Lithium.

Compared to the previous age, guiding the rocket was simple: The coordinates were entered, and the rocket would travel to the corresponding destination. The problem was actually landing the rocket, which could only be done on grass, otherwise it would crash and explode.

The rocket was needed to travel to Planet X and then return to Earth.
