RELATIVITY' date=' my boy, RELATIVITY. The passengers of each ship see the whole rest of the universe--including other Dark Matter drive-equipped vessels--moving around them. And they're both right.[/quote'] Considering both are actually moving FTL, this doesn't exactly sound like Einstein-ian "relativity" but I guess the same principle could still apply. This stuff makes my head hurt. Oh wait, my head hurt to begin with... it's just a migraine. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Re: What FTL Drives do people use in their campaigns? And what techno bable do you us Simple.

The nature of Dark Matter Drive (DMD) is such that even though each starship is actually stationary' date=' each perceives itself and others as moving.[/quote'] I wouldn't put it past the Futurama writers to come up with a perfectly plausible FTL system, if not one that actually works.
