0.1 humans then? :P
That would make for quiet an interesting story by the way:
Jokely The Head made his way forward in the dark empty void of space, unwillingly, as he had not wished the fate that had been bestowed upon him.
It was 500 million years ago that the anomaly which had saved...
About A.I; there will be basic A.I, but there have been disasters throughout the ages, causing great fear, and forced laws and policies in place that prohibited the creation of more advanced forms of A.I.
These laws are of course not followed everywhere, nor can they be enforced completely...
1 million fleets? :O
Automation will be pretty balanced. Fleets will be almost completely self-sufficient, what ever they may need, civilian ships will most likely be able to produce. Mass production will be handled by machines while many overseeing tasks and other various duties will be...
So, I have been working a little on the numbers, and I hope I have managed to make them out alright.
There will be an average of 20 billion people per main system in the main galaxies. There will be an total of 230 million main systems across the 5 main galaxies.
The outer galaxies will have...
Mate, you need to relax a bit.
You seem to get lost into details and story elements I have not even shared. Things may seem weird and some things you may not understand right now, but these will be explained in the book.
And no, it does not need to take place in the local group. It's actually...
Allright I will try to make an effort to address some of your concerns. I do appreciate that you try to help me, it's just, you seem to get lost into details I have not even told of yet.
I do not wish to bring these details up, forgive me for that. But I will try to explain some basics of my...
Yes how dare I defy the laws of physics and reality in my imagination. How dare I write a piece of unrealistic fiction. THE CRIME!
There is only one solution for heretics such as myself:
And yes, I am implying that I'm an 80 year old lady.
Thank you, I think I got the basic idea.
I understand what you are getting at, that one galaxy is not like any other, that they all come in different shapes and sizes. This will be handled in the book. A sidenote might be that this doesn't necessarily need to take place in our local galaxy...
Thank you! This is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for.
So I think I will increase both ship numbers, size and manpower size for each fleet then, or just increase the fleet numbers.
Let's say one fleet consists of a couple of moon sized or half-earth sized main ships, with many tens...
Like I said, I have some certain things in place that might explain why humans as we know them now might still be intact after 500 million years.
But if it doesn't pan out, I could just apply the "Fantasy" tag and not worry at all :)
Thank you! I am well aware that weeks are made up of days...
How can you be so sure? Standard biological evolution might be the thing that ensures we survive forever, or at least for a long while, and if not, don't you think we would have advanced a lot in genetic science to overcome extinction?
Good question, and I have thought of this a little. My idea is that policies have been put in place to hinder certain development and genetic advancement. Those policies has then been followed with strict methods, in my book there is even a civil war going on between those who want to keep these...
Don't really need to be a complex calculation. I just want to know if my numbers sound reasonable, or if I'm way off.
OFF-Topic
I just have to answer to this. I have seen so many people who seem to doubt that we will make it out into the universe or survive at all, I also had such...
Please forgive me if this fell into the wrong forum. I thought this would be the right place to ask.
500 million years have past since humanity came in control of a device that could send ships at great speeds across the universe, from the edge of one galaxy to the edge of another in weeks...
