How much of the galaxy has been explored by both the Galactic Hegemony and League of Stellar Nations together in all you would say?As for the Greyaliens, considering they're essentially the only true allies humanity has, and considering the human reaction to their near-genocide, are the Greyaliens given much better and more honored positions in humanity's domains compared to the rest of the known galaxy?2. Hmm what kind of powerplants do most ships in this setting use? Nuclear reactors?And what kind of engines were most common on Hegemony ships prior to encountering humanity?<img src="https://i.imgur.com/Zxxef7x.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> 3. What were Hegemony point defense weapons like? Some sort of chemically propelled rounds? Would something like the Expanse's point-defense cannons have been better than what Hegemony warships had?4. Hmm a possible way humanity could possibly one-up Hegemony gyrojets, I think at least, is to possibly use some sort of launching mechanism to throw the gyrojet round out before its motors kick in. Maybe use coilguslns/railguns to throw it out so gyrojet rounds aren't useless at close range? I mean we already have gauss weapons so why not make a slightly larger version that uses gyrojet rounds?It might create some recoil due to the initial kick but not that much I imagine?Here are some examples shown here from an internet RPG:<a href="http://swiki.fancruft.com/index.php?title=Standard_Infantry_Equipment" target="_blank">http://swiki.fancruft.com/index.php?title=Standard_Infantry_Equipment</a>In fact considering humanity's superior weapons tech, said gyrojets could easily be guided ones as well with smart fuses that only explode when certain conditions are met?I mean we already have a 40mm single shot muzzle loaded guided gyrojet/bolter round today: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_(munition)" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_(munition)</a><a href="http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/01/30/raytheon-pike-laser-guided/" target="_blank">http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/01/30/raytheon-pike-laser-guided/</a>5. Hmm regarding the hyperdrive here, what are some limitations on it? Can you only go FTL in certain places? Does it have problems if you jump in a gravity well? What limitations are there for it?In addition, what is the max acceleration for military ahips in this setting?Finally, how big are dreadnoughts here? Like are the biggest, baddest ship classes normally less than a kilometer or half-a-kilometer in length at most?</blockquote>
