The vessels of the Klonor Space Fleet, well known as some of the finest vessels around, have one major limitation: Sub-Space. An extremely fast way to exceed the Speed of Light, is also consricts us to an extremely limited number of systems. As is commonly known, Inter-System Sub-Space travel is possible only through the use of Sub-Space Jump-Nodes, naturally occuring phenomena that are extremely rare and often unstable (for more information on Sub-Space go here: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=293139 ). When Jump-Nodes are not available we must rely on our backup FTL system, a Gravity/Time Distorter which, though available everywhere, is 1/60 the speed. So, we are squeezed into limited space with extremely little prospects for advancement. Until now.

Working jointly with the nation of Foe Hammer, we have made startling breakthroughs in the fields of teleportation and instaneous travel. Soon, after the completion of our research, we shall begin construction of the first Klonor-Hammer Translight Molecular Deconstruction Gate.

There are four Plasma Power Generators on the Gate. The energy output of the Generators is focused into a beam of energy, fired once every second. Each gate fires 1/4th of a second apart, to form a Pulse Transmission Sequence. The streams of energy then impact in the center to form a single red beam of focused energy, which is then projected forwards to impact with another four Energy Beams emitted from four Transmitters located at the top and sides of the gate.

When the joined Energy Beams impact the object in the center of the Translight Molecular Deconstruction Gate they cause it to break down into it's individual elemental parts which are then converted to energy and stored as patterns.

The energy pattern is then forced into an artificial Wormhole-like Phenomena, which transmits the pure energy to the receiving gate over an interval of ten to fifteen seconds, depending on the distance travelled.

The receiving gate, upon reception of the pure energy, reconstructs the object's molecular structure based on Sensor Data from the transmitting gate, which is sent with the energy molecules.

Once constructed, these Gates shall be placed within all Klonor and Foe Hammer stellar systems, with more added as new systems are discovered and charted. They shall enable us to cross thousands upon thousands of light-years in mere seconds, and much more cost efficient than currently used methods.

Eventually we shall be able to abandon that confining realm of Sub-Space and be able to flit among the stars like the ancient will 'o the wisps.

Hell yeah.

But, Does it let you travel through time? ArcLight Does.

Travelling through time is a ludacris idea. Anything you do while in the past can and will effect the future, and could even cause a massive time paradox that could cause the universe to cease to exist.

Your ideas are very intriguing. I would like a detailed report on their feasibility. If it proves to be feasible, would you be willing to share this technology?

We will not release this technology until properly tested over a period of a few years, to ensure stability in the Transfer system and correct Reassembly processes. We will not put others in danger. In fact, I don't think we're ever going to release the technology. :P

Bu-Bu-Bu-BUMP!

Er ... sadly all FTL travel will involve travelling through time.

Plus little consolation to the passengers that they'll be destroyed forever during this process - reconstructing them at the other end means they won't be the same molecules.

Travelling BACK in time intentionally is a bad idea. Yes, I know Hyperspace is fourth-dimensional (The three basic dimensions, plus Time), but intentionally travelling back in time to change something/do whatever is a horrible idea. It could cause a paradox that could destroy existance itself.

Bleh, I'm not the Tech guy. Ask Klonor when he gets back. I'm just the Graphics, design and technology supply guy.

No it couldn't. The Novikov Consistency Principle prevents paradoxes. An extrapolation on the Principle of Least Energy, it states that no closed time-like path can be created that prevents its own existence (is internally inconsistent). Thus, no object can follow such a path. The very fact that you exist in the way you do is testament to the fact that you cannot alter past events to make you exist in a different way, or not at all. In short, no matter how hard you try to alter the past, everything that you do in the past has already been factored into the current timeline, and therefore cannot alter that timeline.

I've never really taken a serious look into what kind of hyperspace technology my ships have.

But i've narrowed it down to either the Alcubierre warp drive or a subspace system where the ship 'drops' into a three-dimensional existence, but there is usually a sloppiness factor involved, and as thus the fastest ever 1 ly run made by an LRR ship was 11.782 seconds.

Disclaimer: I do not claim to have any serious knowledge of quantum mechanics or systems of faster-than-light travel.

What show? I may have seen it.

Damnit, it's getting sooooo frustrating to try and Roleplay a good FTL conception! Klonor had something similar when he was 3 weeks old and everyone was fine with it, but the minute I get involved, suddenly it's not technologically feasible, or everybody tries to shoot down the idea!

Just one more example of the idiocy of many on this forum, that many people's judgement can be swayed greatly just because of one's name or reputation.

Example: Angelus builds a Worlddisc. Everybody's fine with it.

I build a Mothership the same size over a hundred or so years, following all the stages of Research and Development, spending hundreds of trillions of dollars on it.

Suddenly, I'M GODMODDING!

And now, my main question - What the hell is up with that?

People are fickle, It's best to just make up BS when noones looking, then refer to it in your RPs as "Something They let me use before." That's how I get away with having a cloaking device.

(Note: Hi Everybody!)

I was going to shoot the idea out of the sky, but I had just been threatened with deletion by the mods and I didn't want to do anything subversive.

The Brotherhood of kane would be interested in funding this project in exchange for plans to this technology

OOC: whats up

Sorry, but we must deny your request for this technology. As stated above, we will not exchange this technology for a while (Possibly a long while). We will gladly accept donations, though. :D

*Waves to Jimathon*

Well, last time i looked this place is about role playing.. not real life..
if some of the other nations dont like it too fantastic or sci-fi'ish, well, that's their problem.. all FTL, hyperdrive and such are just unproved theories that might work in some far/not so far future..

I have read alcubierre's papers and they seem factible, but not with current tech, if some out there do not like it that some in here do not strictly follow RL guidlines, well, tough, this is RPG, make believe!!
It is not like Klonor and others are going to do this for real.

FTL, Hyperdrive, Foldspace, Jump Gates and other travel methods are fictional within NS, at least Klonor and other give some interesting explanations about their fantastic and sci-fi'ish technologies that make quite good sense without being godmod..

You want real life??

Then quit NS and get out of your room and house!!
