So far I think the mule drone should be on the block for this one. It always reminded me of a target. Not just because it's bright, but the colors and design just say shoot me. I have to disagree with the Himal comments though. It's shape is a good one which allows it to be a bigger ship but harder ...

If you look at the original ship it isn't nearly that white. There are lots of black patches on it, upwards I'd say of 40% maybe. Also I would suggest making the engines a little skinnier and bulking up the sides of the ship in the back between the engines. The sides should be trying to make a circl...

A true autopilot for the game where you can tell it to go to a location, or follow a ship, would be useful here. Currently it's a "hurry up and fast forward through this part of the game" button. Of course you would probably need an enemy detection alarm for incoming ships just in case, as well as a...

I just removed the spoiler tags. I'll look into how it's supposed to work later. As far as those on the ship, if time dilation did work as you say they would believe they were going much faster than light far before they reached it to an observer on the ground. In fact as they approached light speed...

It's interesting that you think that my suggestions of why experiments that actually work do in fact work would not support the experiment that actually works. I am not suggesting that there is a problem with the experiment, just that the framework that has been built to explain it doesn't seem to b...

It was merely a comparison. I wasn't implying efficiency. Your all embracing sweeping statement merely verifies you won't even consider the idea. The question wouldn't be is that how it works but why is it so efficient. A compact signal cluster would account for not only the speed at which it travel...

If the answer is no then the statement the cat is inside AND outside at the same time can't be true. What can be true is a statement of observation. "At any given time it is possible to see the cat either inside or outside the box." Saying that you can't observe both at the same time makes this obvi...

Are you saying that whey you make the observation that you find the cat inside and with the exact same observation you find the cat outside?

As far as the cat is concerned. It is a fact that it is either alive or dead. It doesn't matter what some equation says. If you want to think of probability you may say that the cat's probability of being either alive or dead is a percent, that is between 0 and 1, but the cat in the end is not a dec...

The term "time dilation" asserts that time is not constant and is relative between objects. "Signal dilation" would be appropriate.

And yeah, this is where I usually loose people.

Had to try this one. It's powerful but at the same time you have to be careful around friendly ships. I like it.

I hope that's mexican coke. The real sugar tastes so much better. Someone should really give the guy who decided to use corn syrup a good talking to.

Again it isn't time that is changing, merely the instrument. The calculations are still valid but in reference to the signals being observed. A second is not really defined by a clock. A clock measures it's own movement and time can then be estimated by the observation. A second is 1/86400 of an ave...

This is because his predictions were good calculations but not about time. They are applicable to the movement of electromagnetic signals. These clocks were tested on the ground and on the ground they work exactly the same. When one was sped up it was being flown through earth's magnetic field and t...

They aren't making corrections for time dilation. They are making corrections for variations in the signals they are receiving which people have called time dilation. The same thing is happening on the satellites as happens in the experiment. The outcome of the experiment is correct and useful in ap...
