i was bored and thinking, what other forms of FTL are there?

other than
Warp
Hyperdrive
Slipstream

Artificial wormhole generation, subspace rifts, slipstream is hyperdrive just slippier :L

Slipstream, is slipping between two different parts of Space. It's best defined in Halo than StarTrek.

Oh you didn't get my refrence oh well and i know about slipspace from halo, ermm there is a stardrive from red dwarf

Going into a black hole and becoming spaghetti, going to the other side of the universe

Tesseracting.

And Slipstream from the TV series Andromeda was pretty neat and fairly in depth sometimes. There's also the BSG Jump Drive

by **Destral** 2010-10-30, 01:20

Space-folding, like in Robotech (which I think is the same as BSG), or Wave Motion Drives like in Space Battleship Yamato, AKA Star Blazers.

by **Darkwing** 2010-10-30, 01:21

Space folding sounds more like Tesseracting to me

how about quantum teleporting a ship ?

There is also Transwarp (most known due to voyager), and what was the name of the FTL method used by the antagonist aliance on ST:ENT?

by Vedic 2010-10-31, 12:31

Sub-Space Vortex i think, it could get from some ware to earth (50 ly) with in a day, one of the fastest drives in Star trek.

24th Century Warp, could only go about 2 light years a day at High warp.

I don't get it... If they later joined the UFP, it would have been a good idea to have Sub-space drives on their spaceships... Even in ENT alternate future I guess the Enterprise used warp :S

well in the Alt time line, with the Ent-J, Daniels was showing a possible time line. but that prob never happened, casue the Alt-universe guys screwed with time line, by giving them tech and stuff,

by Vedic 2010-11-01, 12:48

correct me if I'm wrong

There are est 400 billion planets in the Milky Way.
The Milky Way, is 100,00 Ly long, wide, ect.

Now if you do 400,000,000,000 / 100,000 you get 4 million planets per a light year. Is this believable or just maths?
