Quote:Er? I think you're misunderstanding - my desired implication is that a fennish ship with access to sufficient power could quite easily go FTL inside the limit... it's just that the needed amount of power is insane even with handwaving. I was explicitly thinking of an Alcubierre warp drive when I wrote that.
Vales I like most of your suggestions, but since the Limit allows for superluminal travel I would not put the part where solar gravity limits the speeds close to the sun as the same type of thing as the Limit.
Hmm. A ship's mass would have to influence the degree to which its drive was affected by the dominant body.
Also, a basic assumption that I think'd be a real good idea would be that space-time alterations can be detected at a distance, instantaneously or close enough to same as makes no difference for our purposes. I don't see as how time travel could add anything except headaches.
Ja, -n
