   I had an idea for a FTL drive that does not violate casualty: make it so it   
   needs to "charge up" before jumping. Imagine a Minkowski Diagram with a light   
   cone. the path that the FTL drive would take would be a right triangle, one   
   leg on the time axis,    
   the other on the space axis(though it goes up very little on the space axis by   
   a negligible amount. The hypotenuse would be the path taken by the spacecraft,   
   and since it is inside the lightcone, the drive does not violate casualty. I   
   haven't worked out    
   the specifics yet because I want to include a time-dilation effect or some   
   other relativistic effect but the thing is rather mind-boggling.    
      
   The side effects will probably be something like:   
      
   while the path can be a regular right triangle, it is optimal for it to not to   
   be one because then you can load/unload cargo while "charging up" by catching   
   up to the hypotenuse(a horrid explanation)   
      
   the drive will only be in use by long-lasting organizations(megacorps,   
   countries) because of the time needed to charge them up.
