Thanks very helpful!

Could anyone add abbreviations for the measurements used in ED like c (supercruise speed) or mm/Ls/LY(probably light years)for distance? I have no clue what those are.

C= Lightspeed. 1C is 1X the speed of light. 10C is 10X the speed of light.

LS = Light Second
LY = Light Year
MM = Mega Metre ie 5000 km is 5 Mm

I had missed C but LS and LY are in the list ;)

Added C and MM to spreadsheet. Will update list later.

Great list/sheet, thanks!

My suggestions:
- Add to the Asp explanation that it is (also) a snake species (like Sidewinder - Adder - Cobra - Viper - Diamondback - Keelback - Python - Anaconda)
- Split the list/sheet in two or three catagories, like ED game abrrevs and general forum abbrevs (like IMHO and RL)
