Quote from: Gamer PrintshopStart by reading this site and this site in their entirety. There are a ridiculous number of misconceptions regarding what "realistic" is in terms of spacefaring.
Under the premise I'm working with Spelljammer and Eberron is very much not what I'm looking for. For me, I want hard sci-fi with potentially realistic starships like you'd see in any sci-fi movie: Star Wars or Star Trek. For all intents and purposes, I want to seem like Traveller or any futuristic sci-fi setting, but use the Pathfinder RPG rules to accomplish everything - with replacements for the caster classes with tech equivalents. Santiago setting doesn't have an equivalent for wizard, so I've created an alternate version as a code hacker, though cleric is engineer, paladin is barrister, etc.
Quote from: EilathenI don't agree that SW is fantasy. For me, the whole force and jedi/sith thing is fantasy, yes, but the rest of the franchise is very much Sci Fi. It's all technics and engeneering, oil and screws and stuff...very much technological development to a higher degree than in our world. Is it explained into detail? No, certainly not, but that is not necessary.1. There is no sound in space.
Quote from: EilathenIf that is your criteria for sci fi, that all has to be explained logically, there is almost no setting that qualifies.Two points: Science Fiction doesn't have to explain everything logically. It can gloss over details. I wish Arthur C. Clarke had glossed over more details. To me, his works are like reading the manual for a spaceship. But any science fiction work needs to obey the laws of science. Failing this is the first mortal sin of bad science fiction writing.
Quote from: EilathenAs i said, not that much interested in hard Science...only in the veneer of technology.So not Science Fatnasy, just Fantasy.
Quote from: EilathenI guess the most often used term for what i am trying to explain is Magi-Tech.So...Fantasy. Got it. Go check out Dragonstar, Spelljammer, Star Wars, Warhammer 40K, Eberron, Shadowrun, Rifts, etc.
Quote from: brainI thought things like diffraction of single photons through a slit indicate otherwise? (Though my knowledge is little more than like... reading a Brief History of Time years ago. >_>)Negative. That experiment a classic example of quantum superposition, but it doesn't have to do with the Uncertainty Principle, though.
