[@Darkraven] Yeah. I know, my coal colored avian. Got to keep in mind that right now my brain is more flexed than an insecure body builder trying to show off right now. ---------- Home worlds aren't. The time taken to move even between star systems is massive, even if. By space standards it's only like 40 years. Lets assume, somehow. That is the case. A ship entering a galaxy has to prepare the trip 40 years in advanced. If someone wins the initial meet up Once that system is seeded it's going to need an over whelming, very, very fast force to take it out. Without ftl you got to rely on pure size. Even if you have a thriving native planet empire. It's still sending ships and tech that will probably be out of date when it reaches. As e can probably assume that with laser tech or something we can send data-and thus the seeded city will be able to build up to date stuff on the stuff..or at least faster- Native planets are an equation, it's just...well..liek you said...without ftl drives....the distance sort of fuck their military planning alot. But..I think we might be derailing the thread a little. With time included for distance, story wise for that war. The generation had won. [@ClocktowerEchos] Shit, brother. I like your brain goop.
