Well if we are getting personal I quite like the idea
of no FTL travel what so ever. I know to an extent it
ruins the idea of dramatic engagements in space.
But I like to explore the ideas of exactly how inter-galactic
wars could take place under such conditions or whether combats would
only ever take place around planets or space stations.
Take even a small space (relatively speaking).
Say an Earth v Mars conflict with no FTL capability.
Chances are it would end up like the Battle of Trafalgar.
Better part of a year sailing around before the fleets meet.
Then all hell breaks loose for several hours.
