Later, after FTL ceased operations, an updated authorized shareware version of Oids for the Macintosh was developed and released by Kirk Baker.

Dungeon Master Nexus was released 1998 for Sega Saturn and only the Japanese market under the FTL and Software Heaven brand.

Eye of the Beholder is similar to the early Role-playing video game Dungeon Master, released in 1987 by FTL Games.

Cold Space was released on September 13, 2005 and is a space opera game set in an alternate cold war-era after antigravity and FTL spacetravel change the world.

FTL Now was released on April 29, 2006, and is the sequel game to Cold Space, set between 1990 and 2006. It focuses on the Interstellar War on Terrorism, ignited when terrorists re-directed a massive Mars-terraforming comet to slam into New York City on September 11, 2001, incinerating Megalopolis-the area between Maine and northern Virginia, triggering massive tsunamis and earthquakes, and setting off the Pacific's Ring of Fire.

FTL Games ( Faster Than Light ) was the video game development division of Software Heaven Inc. FTL created several popular video games in the 1980s and early 1990s.

He awakens on a very expensive FTL singleship near Known Space, physically younger than he recalled, unaddicted ( the ship refuses to provide him with alcohol or pills ), and without recollection of how he came to be in this situation while several months away from Sol and Wunderland.

The UNNS operates FTL interstellar vessels on multi-year voyages between Earth and several colonies.

The use of an FTL carrier to transport this freight generally provides an overall cost savings because the freight will travel fewer miles in the FTL carrier's network, as well as a reduced overall fuel surcharge cost — that is, one FTL carrier travels the distance to the break-bulk facility for a single carrier's price while using only the fuel required for that FTL truck, vs. several LTL carriers at each carrier's price, each covering some of the same path to the final destinations and each using the fuel required for each one of the LTL trucks.

Although FTL intended to release further games in the series, this was pre-empted by the tremendous success of their follow-on effort, Dungeon Master.

* Mass Effect, series of games and novels use FTL drives powered and navigated by " mass relays ".

This game is set in the Cold Space / FTL Now universe, and is contemporaneous with both other games, but seen from the perspective of the Commonwealth Colonisation Agency.

Holder started Software Heaven and FTL as its game division after founding Oasis Systems, which specialized in spell checking software.

Inspired by the Apple Lisa user interface ( the Macintosh's precursor ), it was developed by FTL for the game and was hailed for its ease of use and intuitive functionality.

The Rickenbacker is escorting the Von Braun, an experimental faster-than-light ( FTL ) starship, on its maiden voyage.

Because the Rickenbacker does not have an FTL system of its own, the two ships are attached for the trip.

The FTL is normally used not for tactical but for strategic purposes, allowing a damaged ship or an outnumbered fleet to flee from battle and preserve its remaining strength.

The first fatal accident in Muskoka, and the last one recorded by the FTL in Canada, took place August 1944 when a Fairchild PT-19 Cornell trainer with pilot and student aboard lost its wing and crashed into the ground, south of Gravenhurst ; both on board died.

Sill Level ( SL ) of the sluice of the Kapra Lake stands recorded as + 547. 873 Meters, Full Tank Level ( FTL ) as + 550. 854 Meters, Maximum Water Level ( MWL ) as + 551. 614 Meters, and its Tank Bund Level ( TBL ) as + 553. 584 Meters.

Mark also hosts the Edgington Post, a short interview show often tacked onto the end of podcasted versions of FTL.

* A history of FTL and SunDog with helpful tips and strategies for the game ( archived version )

To account for the apparent discrepancy between the length of ( recorded ) history on Darkover and the length of time that had passed for the rest of humanity, the author mentions that early FTL drives could cause dislocation in time as well as in space when mishaps occurred.

The novels do not describe how interstellar travel occurred before the introduction of jump doors ( FTL ships and metabolic suspension are mentioned ), but the history of pan-sentient relations strongly implies a much longer period.

Faster-than-light ( also superluminal or FTL ) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.

On the other hand, what some physicists refer to as " apparent " or " effective " FTL depends on the hypothesis that unusually distorted regions of spacetime might permit matter to reach distant locations in less time than light could in normal or undistorted spacetime.

Although according to current theories matter is still required to travel subluminally with respect to the locally distorted spacetime region, apparent FTL is not excluded by general relativity.

Examples of FTL proposals are changing the " frequency " of mass to a higher state by applying high-frequency waves of energy, the Alcubierre drive, and the traversable wormhole, although the physical plausibility of some of these solutions is uncertain.

In the context of this article, FTL is the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is 299, 792, 458 meters per second ( by definition ) or about 186, 282. 4 miles per second.

Neither of these phenomena violates special relativity or creates problems with causality, and thus neither qualifies as FTL as described here.

* FTL – ( First To Log ) The first person to log the find of a cache container online.

Loglan is used as the official interspecies language in the roleplaying game FTL: 2448.

The first Man-Kzin War ended when the humans obtained the faster-than-light drive ( FTL ) from the Outsiders, after which the Kzinti ships stood no chance against the FTL warships.

They saw in the aggressive Kzinti a major threat, and orchestrated the events that led to the humans getting FTL ships and thereby ensuring the human victory of the first war.

It was the Outsiders that sold humans the FTL drive, on a stop in the solar system of the human colony called We Made It.

Faster Than Light ( FTL ) propulsion, or hyperdrive, was obtained from the Outsiders at the end of the First Man-Kzin War.

For example, full truckload ( FTL ) rates are more economical on a cost per pallet basis than LTL shipments.

Superluminal communication is the hypothetical process by which one might send information at faster-than-light ( FTL ) speeds.

* The SciFi Channel series FTL Newsfeed begins in the year 2142.

The Alcubierre drive ( or Alcubierre metric see: Metric tensor ) is a speculative idea based on a valid solution of the Einstein field equations as proposed by Miguel Alcubierre by which a spacecraft may achieve faster-than-light ( FTL ) travel, making travel to other stars more feasible.

Yet another problem is that, according to Serguei Krasnikov, it would be impossible to generate the bubble without being able to force the exotic matter to move at locally FTL speeds, which would require the existence of tachyons.

A more recent paper by Carlos Barceló, Stefano Finazzi, and Stefano Liberati makes use of quantum theory to argue that the Alcubierre Drive at FTL velocities is impossible ; mostly due to extremely high temperatures caused by Hawking radiation destroying anything inside the bubble at superluminal velocities and leading to instability of the bubble itself.

The Star Trek television series used the term " warp drive " to describe their method of FTL travel.

15, pp. 349-391, Holographic wormhole drive: Philosophical breakthrough in FTL " Warp Drive " technology.

Common flash devices such as USB flash drives and memory cards provide only a block-level interface, or flash translation layer ( FTL ), which writes to a different cell each time to wear-level the device.

Warp drive is a hypothetical faster-than-light ( FTL ) propulsion system in the setting of many science fiction works, most notably Star Trek.
