+ | Travel for long-distances, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Qs: | ||
+ | * How long does a wormhole transit take? | ||
+ | * Does it require a trained psionic navigator? | ||
+ | * Are there any issues with wormhole transit? | ||
+ | * Can any size of ship go through or is there a max limit? | ||
+ | * Are some wormholes larger than others in terms of what can transit it (perhaps due to the size of the gravity well in which it is found)? | ||
+ | * If so, are they the same size both ways, or can their size vary between A to B transit and B to A transit? | ||
+ | * Do wormholes require a ring or other structure to stabilize them at some point? | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Non-Wormhole Transit FTL === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Travel | ||
+ | |||
+ | Larger ships go slower because of square cube law. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dropping out of FTL, the ship operators may re-enter normal space at any vector with a velocity less than the speed of light. | ||
+ | |||
+ | No Teleporters | ||
+ | |||
+ | Qs: | ||
+ | * What is the largest size ship that can use this method of travel (mass, persons carried)? | ||
+ | * What is the ratio of mass to velocity in LY units? | ||
+ | * Do these ships require a trained psionic to operate? | ||
==== Weapons? ==== | ==== Weapons? ==== | ||
- | Crystal swords that are only use-able by those who have the psionic talent to be able to use them properly. For those who can, these swords can defeat otherwise un-defeatable archaeo-tech defensive technologies. | + | Crystal swords |

+ | Psionic powers given by other archaeo-tech are usable as weapons as well, at least against those without archaeo-tech defenses. | ||

+ | Qs: | ||
+ | * Unordered List ItemWhat do archaeo-tech defenses look like? Are we going with something like bots that intercept attacks? | ||
