| Jul 25, 2018 at 12:14 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | You question boils down to "what fictional propulsion system should I use compared to the fictional FTL drives but I'm providing no details to compare them". That's asking WB to write your story and do your basic research for you. | |

| Jul 25, 2018 at 9:45 | comment | added | Egidajus | For saying "worth" I meant to say: "Does it worth, to spend same amout of exotic matter that used to create warp burble for a long inter-stellar trip, to use for travel to another planet instead. You use same amount of exotic matter, no matter where you travel, cause it's used to create warp burble. Or maybe should I use abother FTL system for my story? | |
| Jul 25, 2018 at 9:32 | comment | added | Demigan | It heavily depends on the amount of exotic matter used, the efficiency (does a short trip take almost as much matter as a long one?) and the availability. If exotic matter is ludicrously expensive and hard to get and most of the usage is starting/stopping the FTL then the answer is use whatever STL drives available. If it's not expensive, relatively easy to get and usage is mostly based on distance traveled the answer is "why wouldnt you use it, it saves months if not years of travel". | |

Even that depends on context; for example, a very long-lived species able to achieve a velocity that is a very large fraction of c living in a densely populated part of the galaxy might not care about travel time to nearby star systems, while if you change any of those assumptions, travel time may become a very relevant consideration. | |
