Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
I wouldn't say that all of humanity needs to end - there are exceptions to the rule. I mean, sure thing, there are 1 smart guy for each 10 idiots, but that's not to say that the smart guy needs to die, is there?
I don't think FTL travel to other stars is something we need to be considering for at least the next 1000 years.
Changes as of May 24, 2013Reinvented Starsector.That is all.

There is 1 decent guy/girl for each 1.000 or more idiots... And i horrified with thought: Humans CAN space travel to other galaxy's. What horror would we bring to other aliens. What terror we would throw at them. Our entire history is a blood bath and we do that to each other. I can't even think what would we do to not earthlings... I really, really hope that human race never ever have something like FTL. We are bogeymen.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.
Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

They're still talking about mind-boggling quantities of energy.Google reliably tells me that a 1MT explosion requires 46.55g of matter be converted to energyThe Tsar bomb was a 50MT detonation, so will have consumed around 2.33 kg of mass.If this new theory requires ~800kg of mass (Voyager 1's launch mass) be converted to energy, that means the space craft would need to be able to harness the equivalent power generated by ~344 Tsar bombs.While it's not unimaginable for us to be able to generate such huge amounts of energy, the material sciences necessary to harness such huge energy levels are completely unimaginable.I don't think FTL travel to other stars is something we need to be considering for at least the next 1000 years.
In short, if you throw a stone out of the rear window of your spaceship you will go faster.
