I'm really new to this game, but I love it and would love to see more solar systems added without using FTL due to this being the Galactic speed limit. I'm not the smartest person in the world but I haven't read anything in these blogs about "Time dilation"?? Why wouldn't SQUAD put this mechanic into the game? simple term the faster you go the slower time gets. here's how I see it playing out in the game. Once you leave the solar system you start playing with two different timelines. one time line would be based off of Kerbal time then the other time line would be based off of the spaceship time. let's just say that we can get a spaceship up to 99 percent of the speed of light. If we send that space ship to a different solar system and watch it leave from our point of view 10+ years will pass before The spaceship makes it to a different solar system. but if we were riding that same spaceship only maybe one or two years will pass by before we made it to the other solar system. So now we have two different timelines. If that same spaceship traveled back to Karbel at 99% speed of light the person riding that spaceship would only have aged about three to five years but the time that passed on Kerbal would be 30 to 50 years so if you returned back to Kerbal then you would have to have the two different timelines sync back up again (much like the system to sync time in the Multiplayer mode). with all that said most trips to different solar systems would be only a one way trip, better pack a lunch.
