When it comes to piracy. I think viking raids would make more sense. then trying to bord ships in deep space.
Red stars are older than others, the well of embers could hold the ruined remnants of an old alien civilization, as someone said in the last session…

For a way to have the strings be different, you could have different frequencies/colors that engines can be tuned to. They could be optimized for certain groups frequency/color, but still tuned to the others but with efficiency loss. New string could need to need to be surveyed to catalog the frequency/color, and it took some time to find specific frequence/color groups and learn to tune engines to them.
I wonder what space Turkey’s movie industry is like.
Ah, the ravings of our favourite insane person!
Would anyone be able to advise or teach me how to make something like this?
If the FTL jump is instantaneous but the ship requires enough time to power up to propel itself through space, then with AI computations & better knowledge about the particular "String" your travelling, you could calculate a path which takes you accross multiple systems without stopping.
If gravity affected the direction of travel while in FTL, this would be like the Millenium Falcon traversing the kessel run in twelve parsecs.
You travel straight through a string, then with knowledge of the systems' various gravity influences, the trajectory is altered & the ship moves to a new heading which allows it to continue straight through the system without dropping out of FTL & saving money,time & fuel .
This would support your idea that nations have a "Home field" advantage due to their knowledge of a system (Planet rotations & positioning, angles for entry into String tunnels & required gravitational affect to move the trajectory of FTL flight).
The AIs can calculate the required entry point, FTL speed & energy required, but an elelment of risk if required by the people on board, as the data would need to be upto date & accurate, which could vary on the price paid for it.
You could call the manoeuvre "Threading the needle"
The Well of Ember's being a space yellowstone i think would be best.
Just to add a bit of hard science to this mixed science fiction setting, fusion in stars start at Hydrogen and end at Iron. Stellar fusion can't exceed this elemental limit, not enough pressure and heat to cause Iron to fuse. The reason we have heavier than Iron elements is because of Super Nova. The pressure at the star collapses and the heat caused by the explosion forces fusion of Iron to happen and releases those heavy elements across the local space, a few hundred lightyears given enough time.
What if the Well of Embers is a region with oddly high activity of Nova? Makes jumps unstable, makes colonisation impossible, makes the region resource rich.
I don't know if it's just me, but the videos always being ever so pixelated to where you can't make out the details/words even though I have everything to watch a video at 1080p makes me sad but hey I'm still enjoying it. At first I thought it was just my internet being bad then I noticed it for every single DoV video… but oh well, like I said still enjoying it.
A thought for the Well of Embers:
It's extremely resource rich, but the FTL Strings are extremely volatile. Sometimes very efficient/inefficient, sometimes sending ships wildly off course or causing catastrophic damage.
All hail The Cosmic Snail
Will we get to see more of the map soon?
Persia/Iran rival for Turkey or too obvious?
Guess Space Snails and Space Vegas are now in Dawn of Victory. Wonder if the Snails influence Human and Alien relations?
Praise be to the Space Snail, and blessed be Space Vegas a Dawn of Victory reborn
Hail Snail
