[@danol1239]

Based upon earths placement and direction of travel, in star trek the fastest ship would use around 200.000 years to cross the diameter of our galaxy. Now as that estimate pulls towards the facts learned from Star Trek Voyager this may not be accurate, but that would be the estimate. In Star Wars they could Travel that distance in matter of 2-3 days at Hyperdrive and around 2-3 weeks with their FTL drive. And that’s pretty insane.

[@SangTheCryptek]

"So what do you use to help navigate FTL speeds?" Star Wars: "Our computer" Star Trek: "Computer" Halo: "A.I. constructs...sooo computers" Stargate: "Shipboard computer, duh" 40K: "We use a psychic genetically aberrant mutant with a third eye that lets him guide our ship through Hell."

Orks don't use Geller fields when traveling in the Warp as they already have the Waaaagh field with them so they don't need anything else. And besides, fighting daemons that climb aboard makes for less boring trip.

[@Paerigos]

Well - if Asgard would go full unleashed with no gloves of - they would be tearing matter down on molecural level with time dilation fields (its easily weaponizable - like when Rodney tried to dump a probe to time dilation field Sheppard was traped in - it disintegrated with all stress put onto it) and collapsing stars into black hole. wiping out planetary invasions with their beaming technology (like without carring how things are reasembled they dont care about jamming - asgard just considered that a painless killing of Heru´ur´s jaffa -just beam them out, and delete in computer buffer) and they probably could build weapons to channel energy into warp dimension to "two standing waves, canceling each other out" deal with warp gods and emperror. (probably little less elegantly then Merlin´s device)

[@evanjohnson1299]

@@MechanoRealist I heard this analogy about traveling the warp the Imperium is like a dud trying to slip through a crowded room by being small and quiet and sticking the the edge of it hoping to get through unnoticed. The orks have a different philosophy, using the same analogy they are a 300 pound man kicking in the door to the room and screaming "Who wants an ass-kicking you bitches!" and hoping the shear audacity, and ferocity of that action gets you across that room, and if not at least you've got a good fight on your hands.

He then proceeds to hunt down his past self and murder them, just so he can have a spare of his favourite gun. His entire fleet and that of his past self, then decend into a massive civil war, over the confusion of their now being two of everyone and everything in said fleets and naturally, Orks sort out all such problems with violence and mayhem.

I love comparing Warhammer 40k Warp to a 90's horror movie called Event Horizon, which to any Warhammer fan watching goes, "And this is the moment where we as a species went, oh crap we need Gellar fields."

In Star Wars the Millennium Falcon is able to go from the Hoth system to Bespin rather fast considering the Hyperdrive wasn't working. Yes even in WH40K; example during the battle of the Fang. A Space Wolves scout vessel was able to warp out of the system, and in turn return with the main Space Wolves force in a short time. While the journey of the Eisenstein took several months. A similar situation was detailed in the Battle of the Abyss.

[@carbon1255]

I think it is rather remarkable to view it that way, as it is safer than sailing was. Is sailing one of the worst forms of travel? It certainly was less safe than the warp is. The sheer amount of shipping in the Imperium, even just militarily shows just how little ACTUALLY gets lost to the warp. And ships ended up in the doldrums and had no wind, just like the warp can be slow as you wait for a current. Travel is purely skill based really, the navigator can shave off travel time to almost nothing, most 40k imperium ships are actually capable of travelling in the strongest of currents. There are wirlpools though, which is one of the main ways to shoot yourself across the warp, but the closer you get both the faster you shoot out but also the more likely it is to gobble you up and spit you out a few thousand years away from where you wanted to be. It is very easy for a ship that is not rushing, and avoids storms (surprisingly detectable in 40k, moreso than even today) to get where it wants to be in a few months or so. (or a year or two if it is through warp rifts and other dangerous areas), but that says nothing about the FASTEST a ship can go.

Let me take you through the average Warp travel procedure. The Captain calls down to prep the ship for Warp expedition. At that time 12000 slaves who have never see the outside of the work galley begins shoveling the dead bodies of the previous workers into massive furnaces along with whatever hard fuel source they have in storage, like a brutal Mr Fusion. A field of pure psychic FUCK YOU is generated around the ship and the blinded mentally traumatized man inside a metal egg begins screaming unendingly as he charts a course through the Warp, which is basically a giant ocean of pure emotion on which the Unnamed Ones lounge around and fuck with humanity by the luxury of simply existing. The ship then ploughs into the miasma of what you could call hell if you lacked imagination. Pray to the Holy Throne the Astropath doesn’t accidentally get you lost, become possessed by a Daemon or just explode like a mushy human piñata from the mental stress of being around so much CANNOT BE. If the void shields even flicker on the 8000 year old vessel (which no one actually understands completely how they work) Daemons made of RAPE and LEMON JUICE will crawl into our reality and do things you literally cannot imagine to every soul aboard. I mean that. The very notion of understanding the completeness of the horror the human victims will be witness to would shatter your perception of reality and cause your head to explode. Mission clock says that they were only in the Warp for 5 days. It was 17 months for everyone onboard. They also missed the destination by a couple of solar systems and 8/10ths of the crew is dead. The Captain turns to his bridge staff and pops the cork on a vintage stock of Jherrik Ale and salutes another successful Warp Jump. Welcome to 40k

[@jaketheripper7385]

One thing you forgot to mention: The Stargate hyperdrive also functions on a similar premise to Star Wars FTL technology. The Hyperdrive tech in Stargate functions by accessing an extradimensional space-time referred to as subspace in universe, which is actually based on real world mathematical concepts of the same name. In fact, theres a number of both in-universe (the SG universe) and overall genre-universal fictitious technological creations that offer otherwise unattainable advantages that are predicated on accessing subspace, such as subspace communication (a staple of modern sci-fi, allows instantaneous communication over extremely vast distances where typical radio communication or laser array would require substantial time for message to traverse the distance), subspace tracking (allows for real-time tracking of individuals or ships over extreme distances. Plus, due to being channeled through subspace, negates any relativistic effects of distance, gravitational anomalies, FTL travel, etc.), among other conveniences. I should note that all such technology - while pretty standard in a lot of modern sci-fi media - exists in the Stargate universe. Also, to my knowledge it's the most realistic depiction of such theoretical technology and seems to all be based on the most fleshed out real world theoretical principles. The Star Wars hyperdrive functions on a similar premise, I believe. However it's media lore specific depiction makes it out to be much more mystical. I mean, seeing that Star Wars incorporates elements of the mystical and spiritual right along side the physical and technological, it seems only fitting to give the common method of FTL travel somewhat of a mysterious and possibly foreboding nature, incorporating Lovecraftian elements and hints to the supernatural. Such things are non-existent within the Stargate universe, and anything made out to be "woo-woo" if you will is always brought back to the realm of the quantifiable and tangible in the end. Hell, this very concept is essentially what the entire SG franchise is based on. Demystifying the universe, more or less. Whereas Star Wars tends to ADD more mystery and intrigue to the universe. Both fine premises and utterly beloved franchises in their own right.

[@cruss4612]

On the topic of subspace communication... In ST, subspace communication is still limited by distance. Many episodes of TNG display a delay in communication between starfleet headquarters and the Enterprise. In the TNG movies this is especially apparent. Within an unmentioned distance it is nearly instantaneous, enough to have video communication in real time. However, it is also limited by distance in the manner of degradation of the signal. Granted subspace is kind of a fast and loose plot device. As far as real life application of the technology, we don't really have any idea what could be possible if we could reliably access it, or what the limitations would be. At one point it was impossible to talk to someone through electrical signals at all, let alone instantaneously through satellites and internet. Now we do all of that from a thing in our pockets, and the most common usage is sharing memes and looking at naked people. Currently there is no indication that communication would be possible over interstellar distances, but necessity is the mother of invention. It might be that we figure it out a short time after we start earnestly traveling past our solar system.

There's a few things wrong about Stargate in this video. In fact, Stargate hyperdrives are a ton faster than this video would have you believe. The Tauri hyperdrive can get you from earth, across the void between galaxies and to atlantis in the pegasus galaxy in 4 days with a ZPM installed (In the video he said it would take weeks which is wrong). Without the ZPM installed it would take 3 weeks. The ships built by the Asgard themselves were able to travel from earth, across the intergalactic void into their own galaxy within several hours (indicated by the ice cream still being somewhat edible) while towing the prometheus which Thor said would slow the journey significantly which means the Asgard could probably travel that distance normally within minutes or maybe a couple of hours at most. Atlantis can travel to earth across the intergalactic void in 2 days. Atlantis with the wormhole drive can do it in a second or so however this drive is unstable and was only used once as a last resort so I wouldn't count that since it's not a piece of technology that can be used properly, at least yet.

[@hiyaboii1]

I agree with you, and another thing for Stargate Hyperdrives they allowed them to travel throughout the Galaxies without having to go around things like nebula's or suns as they transffered the ship into a pocket of subspace I believe though I could be wrong there

[@ZeroSteel45]

FigureJapan.com correct me if I'm wrong but didn't McKay also say that he had to be precise with his calculations or else the shipper get torn apart the moment they resurfaced from the wormhole

[@adolfodef]

There is no reason to believe the Asgard will not use "local" sensors (near or in the Earth´s solar system) to "detect hyperspace activity". Those sensors could send information via wormhole (like a stargate, if not actually using one) in a matter of seconds to the Asgard Homeworld. Then Thor could also use a stargate to move his body to the Milky Way Galaxy, on a planet with a "spare" Asgard Ship [normally cloaked] to beam him up. -> So far, 2 or 3 minutes has passed. Finally, this "spare Asgard ship" (much slower and older than their best ones) could reach the current position of its target and travel alongside the "projected hyperspace trajectory" of any ship made on Earth (it is a straight line, since the physics does not allow it to "turn over"), so it can "drop off" of hyperspace as soon as it detects that it comes back into normalspace.

I would say that in WH40k, super long distances, like traversing from one corner of the galaxy to the other is typically faster than Star Trek (on average), with it generally being accomplished in several month to maybe a year (whereas in ST, using just normal warp travel can take decades). However, while it's faster in long distances, it's way, way slower when it comes to short distances. The reason being, is that Warp jumps are only accomplished OUTSIDE of a stellar system, and once an Imperial ship is in system, it has to rely entirely on sublight drives. A Federation ship from Star Trek can go from Earth to Pluto in a manner of minutes, but in WH40k, such a crossing could take weeks to even months, depending on where the planets are in their orbit.

[@thelordchancellor3454]

I will provide more information on 40k Warp Travel. The warp, or the immaterium, is a universe below our own, where the emotions of all living things take shape and coalesce into beings, the greatest of which are the Chaos Gods Tzeentch, Nurgle, Khorne And Slaanesh. These emotions cause the flows and tides of the warp, which can make travel faster or slower depending on their direction. The warp’s flows are seen by a special type of Psyker, the Navigator, and that is how navigating is done. Depending on how good of a navigator the ship has, the ship could take longer or slower or be lost in the warp. Storms can happen in the warp, making it impossible to see the beacon that is the astronomicon. The Astronomicon is a warp beacon used for navigation. It is located on Holy Terra, in the Emperor’s own Golden Throne.

So far as I know, 40k is the only FTL method canonically able to be used as time travel, intentional or not. Also, no other FTL method has the traveler go through HELL to get to where they want to go. Slower and faster are completely relative in the Warp, with people arriving before they even left. There's also the case of Horus who spent a whole eternity in a half inside the Warp and was only gone for a marginal amount of time in the real world. Also, he never really covered the Orks, who can move their starships faster simply by painting them red. Slower? Possibly. The most unique? Oh my goodness yes.

Watching this video gave me an idea for a SciFi story based on how to travel long distances. Thank you, Eckhart!

[@dstns]

If you do another of these videos, you should include Elite Dangerous, as that universe has pretty fast FTL travel. ED's Frame Shift Drive has two modes: First is Supercruise, meant for in-system travel, it tops out at 2001c. Second is a hyperspace jump, which moves a ship from one system to another in 10-20 seconds. It's the roughly the same time no matter how far you travel (because that's your loading screen), and the longest-range ships can jump up to around 70ly in one go without boosting. However, you can use an "FSD Injection" to boost your range, you can also overcharge the drive by loitering in the corona of a white dwarf or neutron star, or do both, giving long-jumping ships an absolute maximum jump range around 300ly (in ten seconds). With a fast ship, you can cross the milky way in a couple days easy. Oh, and the magic fuel used to do all this is just regular hydrogen.

[@1LonelyBoi]

Don't forget the capital class FSDs. Although they're technically slower than the normal FSD supercharged, they are jumping in and out into witchspace in the most badass way possible.

Hmmh. It really does make it sound like 'Event Horizon' (the film) is set in the very distant past of the 40k universe. XD I mean, the first FTL ship, and it basically ends up in 'hell'. Sounds similar, really... XD

[@timothyrose-richardson8990]

@@KuraIthys 40k's hell is the Warp which can also be known as The Realm of Chaos so it's no wonder their ships have to be in a special bubble to travel through it in fact I have never really paid attention to 40k but I knew a bit about the Warp so I was surprised to hear that 40k had not only found a way to enter and exit the Warp but also found a way to protect their ships from its effects

Something this video missed.... “Best” FTL system is more than just speed. Stargate hyperdrive is potentially the fastest, but you are in a different type of space. That has pros and cons. Star Trek warp drive may be among the slower methods, but a ship in the Trek universe remains in relation to the real universe while at FTL. This allows a Trek ship to both navigate at FTL speeds (compared to straight line jumps) and chart star systems while moving at FTL speeds. By contrast, to navigate In hyperspace you would need to conduct precisely timed course changes relying on accurate real space star charts and an accurate conversion of distance in hyperspace to distance in real space. More so, while in hyperspace, you have no way of noticing what is present in real space as you pass through it...so noting changes in real space requires that you drop out of hyperspace and survey the area. A good example of this is in Stargate Atlantis when Atlantis was lost and the Daedalus had to do multiple jumps to scan for the city ship. They couldn’t scan while traveling in hyperspace.

[@pureevil6047]

This video is specifically for speed, not best in general.

[@NewMainer]

Not to mention he overlooked Warp 10, “A.K.A. “Infinite Velocity from Star Trek Voyager where it takes you anywhere you want to go in the universe instantaneously.

[@anubis8181]

@@NewMainer except the star trek galaxy is all in the milky way. Which makes even warp 10 slower than asgard ships who travelled from their far away galaxy to ours in seconds during Thors chariot episode.

[@Woogoo336]

Wasn't the infinite velocity warp retconned later?

[@Drummerx04]

@@Woogoo336 Voyager I believe was the first series to bring up 'Trans-Warp' and some jargon about a "warp 10 barrier" where warp 10 is equivalent to existing in every point in space simultaneously (or something, it's been a while). The pilot dude with blonde hair made the first federation jump of warp 10 and when he returned weird star treky things happened. Later in the same series, the voyager summarily came across "trans-warp coils" from the borg and were able to use them to travel some 10,000 lightyears very quickly before they burned out. There was also an episode where descendents of Earth's dinosaurs were also able to use Trans warp to seemingly travel huge distances almost instantly. So yeah, it's unclear whether it was literally retconned, or whether other trans warp technologies simply utilized new scifi physics to safely limit the "infinite" speeds.

[@VestedUTuber]

When you manage to destroy an entire fleet by detonating the FTL drive of a single ship, I'll be impressed. In the first Tyranic War, the Emperor-class Battleship _Pax Imperius_ detonated its warp drive in order to stop the advance of Hive Fleet Behemoth. This opened a huge Warp rift that basically sucked the heart of the hive fleet into the warp.
