The goal is to deliver the data to the Federation Fleet, which is waiting a long distance away. The Discovery found traces of the alien life on the artificial world of Ouroboros, where they uncovered a strange alien crystal. The player controls a spacecraft with crew that intercepts an important data packet from the Rebel Fleet. The Forerunners were an ancient race that predated most civilizations in the Faster Than Light Universe.
FASTER THAN LIGHT RACES SERIES
It can be accessed from the Boulder Desert racer node on the career map, and is an Hyper Series event. The event is unlocked by beating Breaking Point. The emitted radiation is conical in shape, with a cone angle that depends on particle velocity and speed of light in the medium.īecause of the Big Bang and the fabric of space itself expanding, it seems that galaxies themselves move faster than light.įTL drives are significant for Type II civilizations. FTL: Faster Than Light is a space role-playing game with roguelike elements developed by Subset Games. Faster Than Light is a Race event featured in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, and it is a racer career event. The displaced atomic electrons emit radiation to form a strong electromagnetic wave reminiscent of the sonic boom produced by an airplane traveling faster than the speed of sound in air. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion kilometers). In glass or water, light typically travels around 70% of its speed in a vacuum, and it is possible for charged particles to travel faster than light in this medium. Les Bossinas/NASA/Wikimedia Commons The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. Tachyons, particles whose speed have to be faster than light, are used once the new laws of physics are discovered.Ĭherenkov radiation is emitted when a charged particle, such as an electron, passes through a transparent medium, such as glass or water, at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium. Ways around these problems had to found via technology to effectively travel "faster than light" using spacetime warp displacement, hyperspace lanes, or natural cosmological structures like wormholes. There is not a place to hide, the Matriarch is close behind. There is also increasingly severe time dilation experienced by the traveler approaching the speed of light, and everything else ages as you travel. We maneuver through the remnants of a moon. Mass gains weight as it accelerates and as it approaches the speed of light, it becomes infinitely heavy. With the old laws of physics, Einstein's special theory of relativity says that only particles with zero rest mass (like photons) may travel at the speed of light. Superluminal is an adjective used for a speed or velocity exceeding the speed of light. Faster-than-light ( FTL) communications and travel are the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.
