    Hacker101 got a reaction from Ben Fargo in General Relativistic Time   
    While General Reletavity would be an intriguing component in the game, I fail to see how it could possibly be implemented. To my understanding of time dilation based upon special relativity, the closer your velocity is to the speed of light, the slower your perception of time. So for this to be put accurately into the game, The player(s) closer to the speed of light will experience time slower than players who are accelerating slower or are not moving at all. It's a mind boggling concept for both the mechanics of the game and in real life. In order for this to be possible from my understanding, say for example a player is traveling to a distant planet say from Alioth and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes minimum to travel to that planet from Alioth assuming you're accelerating at the average speed of a spaceship. However, if you're traveling close to the speed of light it feels as though only about 30 seconds to a minute has elapsed as soon as you reach the planet. Now apply that to RL time and things get weird. The player moving close to the speed of light will feel as though only 30 seconds to a minute has gone by, while for everyone else 20-30 minutes. To put that in a actual time scenario:
     
    Player going close to speed of light:
    Left Alioth-12:30:00AM
    Arrives at destination at 12:31:00AM (But it's actually 1:00:00PM)
     
    Players not moving or going much slower:
    Left Alioth-12:30:00AM
    Arrives at destination at 1:00:00PM (Actual time)
     
    Hopefully that made sense. But essentially what I'm getting at is it's as if the player going close to the speed of light is not only experiencing time dilation in the game, but in the real world aswell. Now I could be missing something here, overthinking it, making this way too complicated than what it needs to be or all of the above. But I'll say it again, this is based off of my understanding of how time dilation and general relativity is supposed to work from a theoretical standpoint, and as such I don't see how it can possibly be implemented in this fashion. If general relativity does become some sort of component in the game, I can imagine it'll be simplified or altered in some way to make it feasible.

    Maybe they’ll allow players in the Alpha/beta to create some permanent fixtures in game for the full release. That would kick major tooshie! Plllleeeaaassse NQ! ??

    Hacker101 got a reaction from yamamushi in Music?   
    Yeah that makes sense. Though I listened to some of the music that's supposed to be in the game, and imo it's pretty good.
    This soundtrack is one of my favorites so far however:

    Hacker101 got a reaction from yamamushi in Mentor System   
    Hmm interesting. Relating to what CoreVamore stated I was actually thinking on a "mentor system" being merged with the benefits of joining an org.  However it would also be nice to not force new players to join an org just to find someone to help them out. Also yeah I'm new here. I've been following the game for some time but I've finally decided to create an account seeing as though I may become a pre-alpha tester. But I just thought I should bring this idea up as it poppped into my head.
