We will plan to make use of Partial-Newtonian physics. From this choice, we will see effects of the following.
- Ships will not have friction without special systems at slow speeds.
- Ships will slowly build up friction over time by traveling fast. Some maximum speed will need to be calculated and used.
- FTL travel will be needed to allow effective travel around a solar system.
How are the physics of this world defined?
Suggestions:
Relativistic? Full time/space dilation for travel and communications?
Newtonian? No drag! Infinite speeds!
Partial-Newtonian? Drag for given conditions? Reasonable max speeds?
Naval? Always drag, basicly ships without the water.
