Pick a number, any number

How about 3x if it's your most intimate relationship, otherwise 2x?
Or perhaps just leave it at 3x, and maybe include a section in the designer notes or GM advice discussing how choosing a different number can affect things. I don't see any problem with 3x all the time. People who crave a longer game can always decide among themselves to make it 2x, or 1x, or negative, or whatever oddness they prefer in the privacy of their own rooms.

Or 3x if they're your anchor (or perhaps, have ever been an anchor for you), and 2x otherwise.

I really dislike the idea of leaving it to the player to have to choose from the range each time, but maybe some people would like that.

I'm against sidebars in principle. At least, for Bliss Stage.

3x it is. I've never seen people go "you know, this game isn't quite long enough." So erring on the side of shorter is not the end of the world.

I vote for 3x. It makes people a little more thoughtful about raising up their intimacy with other pilots, it speeds the endgame up a little, and the
let people choose" seems like a bad idea.
