Shift+1 for description, 4 for normal view, 9 for zones and sectors. If you want to join, just make a few planets/cities etc and post them in the comments with the coordinates you want me to put them at. Don't unpause.

    what the hell , let's stop this discussion about it already , this game is losing favor because of

    And particles have been observed changing positions FTL.

    The purpose of the superposition drive is to place the ship into superposition, which requires that it is un-observed (or whatever you call it). This is why it takes so much computing power, as it requires that every particle of the ship is accounted for.

    Your ships have been previously observed though, surely that means they are limited to the speed of light.

    But when a particle is in superposition, it has not yet been observed, so it could literally be anywhere. What you're describing is just a normal probability wave.

    After a particle gets observed, the probabilities change as if the particle was still moving in that direction, just the particle is replaced by a cloud of probabilities, the electron isn't everywhere at once because the chance that it's position could be changing faster than the speed of light is 0. This means that there is an uneven probability sphere expanding away from the observation point at the speed of light, with a peak where you would expect the particle to be.

    Superposition is simply where a particle has no defined position until it is observed. It is everywhere at once. Its position, until it is observed, is expressed as a probability. When a particle is everywhere at once, the speed of light has no hold on its position, just its velocity. A superposition drive works by altering the probability wave of the particles in the ship, effectively changing its location instantly.

    I have searched it up quite a bit, but I haven't found anything that says that quantum superposition changes instantly. Do you have a specific page that states this? I probably found it already but didn't realise it because it was hidden behind physics terms that I don't fully understand.

    It's effectively the same thing, but just scienceified.

    How about EXOT is exotic matter (which has negative mass, as exotic matter is the name applied to theoreticl matter with negative mass in real life) and BIZR is strange matter (because bizzare and strange are similar :P) When they mix, some weird gravity thing happens and it behaves sort of like an Alcubierre drive, but without the torus.
