Thomas Hurt wrote:Does anyone else find it extremely odd that this game uses laws of physics that are over 100 years old? There was this guy called Einstein, devs, not sure if you've heard of him? His work in physics was kind of a big deal, and any game that involves faster-than-light travel should take into account the causal paradoxes that would result from such technological possibilities; I should also be able to train skills faster than other people by constantly warping from one system to another (or rather, faster from the perspective of someone who is stationary).
Anyways, I just wanted to throw that out there. This really is a big issue to me; it would be like if Call of Duty had no gravity because "welp, too hard to model" and everyone just sort of floated around. You can't ignore the fundamental nature of reality and expect to present your game as internally consistent...
How many years would you like to pass before you land?
And while school is a bit hazy after all these years, I don't remember Einstein ever publishing anything on the effects of "Faster than light travel"....

I'll just leave this here. Current "BS Space Magic" that NASA is working on.We know a fair amount more about how "warp bubbles" work than you might think. 
Sounds great on paper, lets hope they don't send the planet off on a little trip......

That fact that you believe everything you read, and don't apply critical thinking skills to the information.....worries me.

That's not quite as insane as it sounds; One of the theories of how the universe has expanded so far, in the time that we think its been around could indicate that the speed of light was actually faster in the early stages of the universe. Science, capsuleers!
Since no one was there to observe it, did light even exist?
