I'm still a noob to the seamy underside of Nova, so don't kill me here.

The shortest jump is 1 day no matter what.

Well, you can go back in time on mission completetion using a negative number. Instead of adding time upon complete, subtract it.

How else is Uncle Twitchy implementing time travel in the ST universe?

Well, whatever the method he uses, it can't be the negative DatePost method. As I remember, Mr. Turner was also planning to use it, until someone tested it out and found that it didn't work.

The time-travel story I have in mind for SFA does not involve the player's ship traveling in time.

I think that it should be fairly obvious that Nova wouldn't support reverse-time travel. To do so would require massive unsetting and resetting of bits, cröns and other time-dependant parts of any plugin. If these weren't "undid", then I shudder to think what mess Nova would make of doubled cröns, bits, already done missions, non-existant planets, etc.
