(Feanor, I'm going to say this, and I am going to use irrefutable facts and logic so that you cannot sensibly argue with me. You do not have the capacity to construct an FTL (faster than light) drive. You are at war. You were occupied and oppressed fairly recently, which means that until then all resources weren't really yours and science wasn't advancing in your nation. By sheer necessity a lot of your resources are going into the war. This includes scientific research, which in turn equals less of that going to non-military aims. This is necessary, you'd have to be foolish not to do this, because you'd lose otherwise. Furthermore, the development of an FTL drive requires many years of complex calculations and the acquisition of certain likely rare materials, neither of which you have. And finally, Greece has never had much of an active space program before. The fact that you got so far so fast in that endeavour is ludicrous in and of itself, but I'm willing to let that one slide. But to actually make an FTL drive here and now.. the idea is a total anathema to all logic.)
