👽 Hop exit points vary by ±200,000 km. Great for cargo, less so for precision landings. Interstellar Hop Sh
Any FTL hop (moving information faster than light in some reference frames) risks allowing time travel via relativity of simultaneity. The Hop Ship models that stay subluminal (e.g., the Kerr Hop at 1.6c) narrowly avoid this if the crew accepts a time dilation mismatch between origin and destination. Most Hop Ships are designed to hop below 2c to keep the Novikov Self-Consistency Principle intact. Any FTL hop (moving information faster than light
The greatest barrier to the Interstellar Hop is not distance; it is friction with the void. While space is empty, at relativistic speeds (10% c or higher), the Interstellar Medium (ISM) becomes a deadly storm. The greatest barrier to the Interstellar Hop is

One of the most interesting features of this "hop" ecosystem is its , which allows for seamless "hopping" between restricted content and unblocked environments. Key Feature: Multi-Layered Proxy Hopping
