[@Legion02] I'd be grateful if you could send me the NS in a PM. Maybe I can help fine tune it and stuff :D

[@Wernher] Very good point.

A general rule of thumb with FTL in my opinion is that FTL means 1C to infinite times light speed. So when we talk about an FTL, I like to go with the good old hyperspace or warp techs. Hyperspace lanes are basically system to system connecting the neighbouring stars together. Warp is in system FTL, short range jumps to manouver from planet to planet quickly. 

There is no real scale here, if we wanted to emulate any kind of system, we would first have to understand how massive a galaxy is. So lets just say that going from the Capital to Relica, it would take a good week.

Alternatively we could use warp gates, which I adore. This would make ship based travelling faster, and could cover MUCH larger distances. But it'd be too easy for me to just camp them and lock everyone down, which I want to avoid cause its no fun for anyone.
