Traveling a couple lightyears in a week, and subjectively experiencing only a day or two

this is EXACTLY the horror people in comas experience! to the person who was in the coma, it's like going to sleep one day, and waking up a day later (their subjective time would be a day), but to everyone else they went into the coma May 1st, this year, and woke up May 2nd NEXT year...."objectively" they have lost a year! i understand these are relatively small time jumps they are experiencing, but to me (i was only in a coma for 30 days, but in my memory i have like a 6-7 blank space) ANY loss of time ain't good!

OK, so I'm a noob. I got to the point where a message popped up saying Astrid has a repeatable scene. I missed how to trigger it though.

I can't figure it out. I've tried Facial, Contacts, and the comp in my cabin. I've also tried talking to her in the bar at night. So... anyone willing to share?

Yeah and that's briefly explored in conversations -- most tellingly at New Caledonia -- there's a discussion as to why the crew of merchant vessels almost always form relationships with other crew on their vessel and others. Those who don't deal with the slippage are less capable of working through the issues it creates.

At night, if you open Facial after unlocking repeatable sex, there's a new "invite to your room" option.

I think the most important difference between the FTL travel and a coma is that everyone on the ship, everyone you interact with daily, your comrades and lovers, share your time, so you're not alone in your perception of time. And that it's probably common enough that people are better used to dealing with that (instead of just "you lost time"), and within limits it's routine.
Although I'm not sure if that helps you, sorry.

D'oh! It's on the front page! I missed it entirely and immediately went into the details!

it's cool. i'm playing it (AGAIN.....) only this time i'm making a note of the days (i.e. day 5- sept 5, day 6- sept 16, etc) and i'm noticing the frequent amounts of time slippage, and like you said, it affects EVERYONE on the ship, so i'm sure you'd get used to it.

You don't need need to go FTL, you don't even need a fast plane. Time goes faster on the ISS (or even just sitting on a mountain top) than at sea level. And you can easily lose entire days and weeks to nothing more than tequila - been there, done that.
