No. They sent someone who plays tabletop wargames. If it's not expressly prohibited by the rules then it is fair game.

841 million systems in 30 years. Even hitching a ride on willing neighbour ships, visiting that many is an impressive feat.

That sounds EXACTLY how we would do it in the future. No doubt. If only we united as Humans and stopped wars

[@lilbitesgames385]

45 years*. 15 year jump then another 30

[@criticalmasseu1]

@@snipe4k418 don't forget, Earth - is a DeathWorld! Harsh environment and constant military or otherwise conflict build us as species and our character. For whatever the galaxy is going to throw at us. Not saying war is good, but struggle brings adaptation and science research. As long as we don't Self-Destruct ^^

[@dracomenda2]

Thankfully there are 80 Billion star systems to go for

[@jai-kk5uu]

Pre ftl can't you only travel to a radius of 30 light years. That's big but it won't even be 10 systems. Atleast no more than 20

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this story being classified as HFY.

[@wfirebaugh]

Lol, I'm 7 minutes in and it's all in the rules. No FTL ships as many star systems as they want to put a flag on. This sounds like my gameplay style, beng with out breaking the rules...

Slower than FTL, but way faster than FTL species.

It's a simple calculus. The universe is finite, its resources finite. If life remains unchecked, it will cease to exist. It requires correction.

@SciFi Stories Hey great work.I always enjoy your videos and work with AI engines. a little suggestion: maybe when editing a moving image AI, freeze it on the still image (basically undo/reverse the motion/video). I think this will create a better flow and then there will be no need to go back(jump) to the beginning of the movement

[@sandrosliske]

Oh great, land sharks in space. Freeza!

[@writecraft7049]

You know if this was really done humanity would be seen as the enemy of the galaxy. Or threat to the peace that was establish.

Already got to the rules part, and I can easily see how this can be abused. I imagine it ends the same way I'm expecting given the title.
