i mean seriously as arbiter said, lightsabers and the force make everything unrealistic seriously guys
u can laugh at me if there's lightsabers in the future but still

Anywho, Scarecrow is right, this isn't going to turn into some sort of debate over what is and isn't possible, as lightsabers and the force throw all of that out the window. Regardless, Outbound Flight WILL be slightly faster than a regular Dreadnaught. Not significantly, but still faster.

« on: February 28, 2008, 10:57:16 PM »yea but it takes a special kind of engine to do so correct?

« on: February 28, 2008, 10:42:44 PM »arbiter there is a thrust to mass ratio that limits your possible speed in space. the heavier an object, the more thrust to get it off the planet and propel it through space is required. otherwise we could have easily gone past the speed of light by now. so far that we know, possible speed is limitless. although some theorize that the speed of light is the maximum possible velocity

« on: February 28, 2008, 09:00:17 PM »Space allows unlimited velocity, So technically a greater mass with greater engine power would achieve greater speed.... Anywho, it won't be that much faster, just slightly.

« on: February 28, 2008, 08:49:08 PM »okay i did the physics math using icbm's for the example. if you take 1 missile that is capable of 4 times the speed of sound. and combine it with 5 more for say massive payload delivery...(all hypothetical) you could actually achieve 1.5 times the speed of just 1 icbm. so there for, the dreadnaughts should go 1.5 times faster than normal

« on: February 28, 2008, 08:27:27 PM »but they have a larger central core, i got the info that it would go faster from a post by arbiter

« on: February 28, 2008, 08:22:26 PM »technically it should go slower because you are adding mass to 6 dreadnaughts that already have to pull their own weight.

« on: February 28, 2008, 08:20:10 PM »it can also go faster, although this is undecidibly not too big a deal
