| + | * No FTL sensors. Instead use a combination of FTL launched probes and FTL comms. | ||
| + | * First of all this prevents the omniscience fields that were so loathed by people who wanted to be sneaky. | ||
| + | * Secondly this gives crews something to do and creates a layer of tension in the writing. Without deployed sensor buoys/ | ||
| + | * Finally this gives us the actual choice to either engage or bug out, since as the distance grows it gets harder to catch someone. | ||
| + | * No FTL inside of a Star System' | ||
| + | * Proposed Hill Sphere = Radius of oort cloud + 10 light seconds? Or more... | ||
| + | * A ship that FTLs inside a Hill Sphere gets crippled or destroyed. | ||
| + | * Perhaps the hill sphere fluctuates encouraging over estimation? Better to take longer getting into the system than to possibly die. | ||
| + | * This will give us some travel time. | ||
| + | * The only exception to this rule would be wormhole gates. This is because wormhole gates require a gate to be placed physically at the intended destination. Basically you need pre-existing infrastructure which is much less flexible than other types of FTL. Additionally the gate would probably have mechanisms installed to cope with the gravity of the star system. | ||
| + | * Both sides of the gate must have their own power supply to start up and connect. So you need at the very least some infrastructure or a milspec power system to get one going. | ||
| + | | ||
| + | * Active gates can not be moved. Or they blow up or something else that is bad. | ||
| + | * I propose that we keep all combat speeds below 0.1c relatively. Basically if you match speed with another ship to fight it, your relative speed is 0, so in this combat scenario you can accelerate and fly around between the two ships, but the relative speed should never approach relativistic speeds. This keeps combat more intuitive and prevents us from needing to make guns that fire projectiles at insane speeds which causes machine guns to have energetic output similar to large nuclear bombs. It also prevents armor technology from reaching a point where one can theoretically hang out in the corona of a star without worry. | ||
