So basically you can't defend your craptastic idea, so you resort to highlighting your inability to figure out whether someone is voicing their opinion on something or if they're throwing around orders that they're demanding everyone to enforce and honor.

FTL is instant, and I've rarely seen a case where someone has made FTL more realistic except in the case of very good writers, which are most common in books. Hell, I've read plenty of books that have weapons equal to what we have in this roleplay, but the best they could do with FTL was by locating weak points between solar systems, called "Tram lines," and using a drive to slip through.

All I've seen on here is someone beating another person up in their territory, where giving up is losing a great deal, and where the attacker has superior forces. Had there been more realistic measures, duck's Dreadnaught would probably be dead. 

No, it's more like it's useless to try to suggest anything else, because everyone is so in love with their special, possibly overpowered or flawless, ways to ever go against it.

It's like democracy. If EVERYONE's vote counted rather than the ones who really really thought about stuff and did research, then the stupid people that made empty promises would be in office. As it is, Obama is slightly better than that kind of stupid.
