[Spaceships] Getting A Few Thousand Extra MPS
So I'm playing around with something and I need/want to send manned missions to the star nearest Sol with more or less hard science TL9-10 ships. The crew will be gene-engineered with the ability to hibernate, but still.
Yes, I know, a tall order. I can get to about 4% light speed, the the journey is just over 100 years, but I want to know if options other then just more fuel tanks would work, something like laser sails (Lasers hitting a solar sail) or maybe a similar idea involving Mag-Sails, maybe particle beams?
Anyone got any suggestions/guidelines/rules?
