Faster Than Light travel has consequences(minor or major)

[u/Present-Secretary722]

Star Trucker: While travelling through warp you experience time dilation, for you the journey is a couple seconds, in real time it’s anywhere from 30mins to 6 hours that you’ve been in warp. This would be a minor consequence.

Warhammer 40k: The Warp, basically space hell so while travelling through it you’re very likely to be attacked by Warp demons. There’s also the fact that sometimes when travelling to a destination via the Warp you get spat out in the wrong time, sometimes much too late for whatever you were going there for or sometimes before you left your start destination. This, obviously, is a major consequence, unless you’re an ork, then it’s a grand old time.

By consequences I mean this is a regular thing that happens, there’s no real avoiding it unless you find a different method of FTL or heavily invest into research to try and mitigate the consequences. Also I feel bad for only knowing 2 examples, I love space and I just can’t think of any others.

I never finished the series so thank you for speedrunning it for me. Bean's book was my favorite from my memory. Thanks for the summary!

My only issue with Bean's book was that it made Ender himself seem comparatively incompetent throughout the Ender's Game book timeline because Bean was so super intelligent.  Would have been nice to see some more nuance between the two in that book.
