This can be anything from Hyperspace in Star Wars, Warp Drive in Star Trek, travel through the Warp in Warhammer 40k or anything else.

I’ve always liked “slow” FTL travel, where going a few light-years still takes a few days or so. I also really like travel through an alternate dimension like in 40k, Event Horizon, Witchspace in Elite Dangerous.

I wanna know your favorite versions, or do you prefer stories that obey the laws of known physics, like the Expanse or Rimworld?

    I just rewatched BSG a month ago or so, and yeah, that scene was so insanely cool!

      it is kinda wierd the showrunners of the reimagined series tried to avoid building a lore around or the scifi-babble around it. they wanted people to focus on the “christian themed, end of times arc of the series” thats why they avoid the previous series of bsg tech. there isnt much info how they developed it in bsg.

        I’ve never seen the original series but I really enjoyed how they downplayed technology in general. I could have done without so much of the god shit, but really the show was so damn good that I can deal with that part

          from what ive heard, the criticism is about the showrunner, who is allegedly a mormon, so he wants a GOD-ANGEL-christian ending, similar to supernatural show, god-christian angel, ending. except with all the magic/ and advanced technology of the older series of bsg. thats why it deviated from the og show so mmuch, no lasers, no advanced 3rd race in teh universe.

          also he dint like the “pewpew” scifi-tech of TREK-CLONE thats why. the original series had way more material to be honest, instead of the stuck in a ship, Voyager-esque show.

          like how the older basestars are more harder to destroy than the new ones, yea they give an explanation its easier to build/grow. another plothole i dint like 40 years, and the 7 dint figure out how resurrection tech works, so they werntly left crippled if the hub was destroyed.
