Forum:How Fast is FTL?

Story and setting wise, I think we should officially establish how long it takes to travel between star systems. Once we do, it will certainly open things up more and present a wide variety of different possibilities.

Methods
Feel free to update this table, but keep in mind we should all agree how long FTL should take from a narrative perspective. It would make sense if FTL took a while, as it would better explain why only a handful of species have mananged to achieve intergalactic travel. However, if it takes too long, then maintaining an empire that spans an entire galactic arm becomes unfeasible.

This table is only for practical methods that are used regularly by ordinary civilizations, so things like Stone Rings are not listed here.
