[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 4173924, member: 7394"] Planets aren't given as much space as I would like. Basically I have enough space to give a quick look at the larger picture. We will be expanding upon the planets at a later point in time. Rather than focus on a planet, I did detail a space station that happens to be a haven for raiders (space pirates!) instead. There's a chapter on history, but it's basically only long enough to show how we got from the modern day to the 2600s. I try to strike a balance. Planet listings give the size circumference and diameter of the planet, the length of their day and year. Most habitable planets have a size somewhat similar to Earth's so gravity will be in the same ballpark. There is gas mining that takes place in the upper atmospheres of many gas giants, so there are these massive enclosed platforms that are kept in place with anti-gravity fields. There is most definitely FTL. I mined the History Channel's [I]The Universe[/I] for ideas on how to explain it. I wanted it to be realistic rather than just handwave it away. Most ships have FTL. Now that you mention it, I didn't specifically go into whether or not fighters have FTL, but it is conceivable. Most ships other than fighters have toilets, but even if the narrator does allow fighters to have FTL, the length of time it takes to get from one place to another via FTL makes a long distance flight without a toilet plausible (ships go really really fast most of the time when compared to most scifi).
