Space Campaign, revisited

To answer Shrale's question: I suppose there will be drones and bots, but I don't want to negate the role of human crews. Will have to think about this one.

Here's what I'm going for with FTL:
Starships fly between planets, but there are no reactionless drives and no relativistic potential planet busters.
Limited or no FTL commo, other than courier ships.
Trade routes exist.
Possibility of smuggling and piracy.
Living sentient pilots and crews are not obselete.
Limited superscience- mostly just the FTL drive.
No contragrav
No psionics

I'll check out the stutter warp. Thanks, Pomphis.

This is exactly what I was hoping for; lots of feedback on FTL and its effects on travel,trade,communication,etc.
