Hello
I very good read dude.... I realize late after the post, working on a theory...
Yes, launching 70,000 ship is somewhat of a bragging "big fish" story i think.... In saying that, it is a meaningless number anyway.... So we agree there was "a lot"....
Yes, we assume for cost reasons the "Generation Ship" stayed very generic in style with mods to Motors & Tech improvements to speed & Nav over time with War's sharply increasing this.... Fair to say....
If LAVE was founded in the year 2752 by a "colony ship" then What happened to that "Generation Ship" in theory on route there ?... Is it not fair to assume "the Dark Wheel" may have acquired one...? or some very naughty boys
If you were to acquire a generation ship or part there of and repair, refuel & update said ship....Then just how far would we get ? hypothetically of course in the last 555 years....?
If we were to model and start the GEN ship in the year 2200 and lets say every 50 years we increase the speed increments from low .2c (I have no idea what that is by the way) to the year 2600 high 1.5c in theory ??....
Then by Adding a "Sphere of Conquest" on earth-likes from SOL.... meaning the closest are founded earlier or first and so on... then in theory in working backward to SOL from LAVE in our time line... we have a plausible speed / time (555 years) for a hypothetical distance +/-
Should hypothetically very naughty boys had stolen one or two Gen ships....[smile]
