Science Fiction Writers Workshop

[Faster Than Light Travel (FTL)?] * General consensus is NO FTL travel and NO FTL communication. Peer inside to read or add to the discussion. [AI?] * Should computers be sentient? Or become sentient? General consensus is NO AI at Launch, but once a ship leaves the Sol system, an author can alter this rule to fit their creative destires. [Power System?] * What powers the colony ship through the stellar voids? [Artificial Gravity?] * Should the ship have gravity? If so, how? [Genetic Engineering?] * Is it allowed? How much can it accelerate the evolution on the ship? [Sentient Animals?] * Similar to AI, but with animals. [Nanotech?] * How far should we extrapolate this current technology? [Raw Materials?] * Mined in space or created by unlimited power?
