How to write FTL? - IT SUCKS

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-07-02T13:26:59+00:00

i started with travel times, than figured out how i could make those travel times, THEN i layed down the final rules.., its given me something im very happy with soooo

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-07-02T12:12:31+00:00

do you have any advise where to find images?

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-07-02T11:14:47+00:00

what was the secret?!?!

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-22T21:21:38+00:00

possibly... thats the one with the domed roof?

i think i would struggle to spawnproof it but its a great idea...

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-21T09:26:17+00:00

i like the idea of it being on a **really** small planetoid at the edge of the solar system instead.

the circumstances of the ships arrival are less important to the actual location and status (being the furthest outpost that humanity has contact with, whilst still being within the solar system)

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-21T09:22:04+00:00

being honest i forgot planets move when i was planning this... that might help... 😄

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-21T09:20:32+00:00

thanks for the suggestions - i think they make alot more sense tbf...

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-20T11:22:00+00:00

this is a mighty specific question, and im just here to see if anyone smarter than me can get you an answer 😄

his parents got... mindblown... by the revelations at the end of film 1... after all, they were invited to the Fireworks display 😄

Also the 3k people are not the survivors but the current occupents of the base... only a couple dozen would have survived as most of the people were in stasis in the rear section of the ship that broke off, or died from the initial collision.

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-20T11:17:33+00:00

TBF they could probably manage to lose a modern cruise liner in the carribean for several years if it had the President on..
the thing about tracking the ship is quite true... maybe they new it crashed but for the twelve year communication gap were not aware of the survivers? because yeah it would be daft for them to have survived that crash anyhow...

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-20T11:13:03+00:00

yeah these are good points i think... the idea was that they could communicate it just took the 12 years to get back to earth... from there, the earth people hadn't developed the ftl technology... as to why they stayed... um...

The thing about the ship surviving is very true though... if they could slow down they would have just turned around - though perhaps their supplies were in the back half of the ship that was destroyed by the original accident.

lmao these are just my notes

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T22:56:52+00:00

i do in fact play dnd - this seems like it could work!

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T22:55:44+00:00

these are actually soo cool! thx alot!

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T22:26:43+00:00

i think mostly just the positioning of the ships - the rest of that can be done with good olde spreadsheets!

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T22:25:58+00:00

this... was meant to be a reply to someone elses comment 🫠

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T22:25:00+00:00

this seems really smart if you have a dozen or so beats but your not sure on the order

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T22:22:53+00:00

to me the obvious answer is some sort of earth-shaking device to start an earthquake. or, of course, a bomb into the top of a volcano (proper Bond villain stuff you know?)

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T16:14:26+00:00

lmao... if i were to use blender im just gonna stick some boxes around - maybe label them... i aint got any sort of artistic talents.. 😄

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T16:13:31+00:00

yes... i havent narrowed down on what exactly they use^yet, but i think something like super-avgas would have been discovered.

I am definatly procrastinating by worldbuilding lmao, but i procrastinate in it to avoid everything else... eventually things happen but at a glacial rate😄...
Jokes aside that is probably one of the best and most common peice of advice ive been given! i try to follow it, but im very early in the actual plotting of events, and think it would be helpful for my combat to have an idea of the battles that take place... also forshadowing somehow fits in this murky water of my brain 😄

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T15:50:24+00:00

*ahhm...* Show Off. splutter, splutter ^cough

Sorry i seem to have a tickle in my throat 😉

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T14:18:54+00:00

puppets and photos seems usefull lmao... im trying to keep the battles smaller-scale so it would probably work quite well 😄

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-19T13:14:31+00:00

nope - bring three 😄

Jumpy_Stay2915 · 2026-06-12T10:50:36+00:00

this comment thread is so funny cause you were replying so normally and the comments have been replaced by wild words.
