Save Translight speed



Save Trans Light Speed

To travel faster than light is the most vital ability of any space traveling society. (When reaching TL 3 FTL usually becomes available)

There several known and certainly more unknown methods to achieve FTL speeds.
Hyper Jumps have no "speed" as per say. The Vessel doing the jump must accelerate to Jump speed and reach a pre calculated Jump Point. Hyper Jumps are limited in distance and only work between Gravitational sinks.
 * Hyper Jumps
 * Quasi Space
 * Black Light Tunneling
 * Spatial Short Cuts

Black Light tunneling has a "Theoretical Speedlimit" of 1 Million times the Speed of Light. But needs a sending and receiving station. while committed to blacklight the vessel has no connection to Real Space and no known scanners can look into real space while in Blacklight.

Spatial Short Cuts i.e: Wormholes, Einstein-Rosen Bridges, Trans spatial gates are discussed seperatley

Quasi Space is the most common method used by almost every known civilization once it reaches TL 5. Once in Quasi Space, a vessel can go Translight speeds (Measured or indicated in TIMES/SPEED OF LIGHT. There is no theoretical limit on TL speed. However an object traveling in Quasi Space experiences many limitatons that influence the attainable speed. Mass, engine efficency and Quasi thrust output. Material stress (caused by Quasi Space temporal influence) The ability to scan and look  down is one of the most limiting aspects. Sensors and scanners must be able to look down into real space and thus "look ahead". Scanning equipment able to do that is the hallmark measuring point for Tech Level caluclation. Then there is the energy consumption, the faster the vessel goes the higher the energy consumption to mass ratio.

Thus engineers determine a "Safe Travel Speed" while most vessels are capable to travel faster it becomes increasingly more dangerous with higher speeds, to a point where material affects can not be neutralized and the effects become chaotic in nature, destroying the vessel and all material and energy associated is turned into transquant energy.
