You do realise that faster than light is a natural phenomenon, right? Right now there are entire galaxies moving away from each other at faster than the speed of light.

If each of them is moving at 0.6c then their relative speed would be 1.2c, but there's no way their speed could be over c on their own. If anything would even reach the speed of light the time would shit itself due to time dilatation works

Only by some clusterfuck of an explanation where you use the expansion of space to pretend that things are moving faster than light and gloss over the fact that the speed of light is the same from literally any vantage point.

All speed is relative, dipshit. There is no speed "on their own."
Brayden Cooper
Well would you consider "shunting" or natural wormholes FTL?
Gabriel Price
You fail to notice my point. If you walk at the speed of 5km/h and you pass a person who is moving at 5km/h in the opposite direction, it would seem like he's moving at 10km/h, but in fact he's not.
Matthew Cooper
>it would seem like he's moving at 10km/h, but in fact he's not.
He is from your perspective. There is no absolute speed, you moron.

Is moving in a 5D space FTL?
Could it still be grounded to hard sci-fi?
I'm not a science dude btw just trying to think of ways around the NO FTL rule a few people follow
Brandon Turner
>There is no absolute speed, you moron.
There might be no absolute speed but you still have your own velocity that can not surpass c. I'd really like you to refer to Lorenz transformation and show me how the relative time would work in such scenario.
Dylan Phillips
>There might be no absolute speed but you still have your own velocity
No you don't. Your velocity is always relative to a frame of reference.
James Scott
what is time dilation
Adam Martin
When too many spaceships are in the same area, time slows dow
James Lewis
Well said! I too like my sci-fi games to include real time journeys to other stars and planets!
