Kinda but no. One light year is;
9.4605284 x 10^15 in METERS
2,000 light years per hour IS 60% (little less) FASTER than the meters per second on the speed of light.
You can check by doing this;
1 light year x 2,000 = total meters covered in ONE hour
Divide that by 60 minutes, then 60 seconds (so divide by 60 TWICE) then you have the meters per second the ship is going.
Then you divide that by the speed of light. (Meters per seccond: 299,792,458 m/s)
The answer you get is HOW MUCH FASTER than the speed of light the ship IS ACTUALLY TRAVELING.

Edited by UnboundRelyks: 9/4/2015 6:30:28 AM[i]Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying? Your equation makes no sense whatsoever. I'll be as blunt as possible. Please, try and actually pay attention. Keyship is moving at 2,000 light-years per hour. You multiply that by 24 to find the number of light-years traveled in a single day. (48,000) You then multiply that by 365 to find the number of light-years traveled in one year. (17,520,000) Light only travels one light-year in a single year. The Keyship travels 17,520,000 times that distance in the same amount of time. Ergo, the Keyship travels 17,520,000 times the speed of light. (You can then multiply that number by 10 to calculate top speed at full efficiency. 175,200,000 light-years covered in one year.)[/i]

Edited by DarthBrando: 9/4/2015 7:03:10 AM17 531 625.6 is the solution on times faster than speed of light; (Did 1 light year in meters x 2,000, [total distance traveled in 1 hour] Divided that by 60 minutes to get meters per minute traveled, divided by 60 to get meters per second, divided that by c (speed of light) got the above solution.) So yea 17,531,625.6x c exactly is that ships TOP speed then. Compare vs these speeds (already solved to X*c per ship) http://www.fatwallet.com/blog/fastest-ship-in-the-universe/ So yes than it goes faster than any star wars galactic civil war era ship, thank you for helping me see that and pushing me to double check the math and figure it out myself. Thank You.

[i]Don't forget, the ship was only operating at 10% efficiency. You'll have to multiply that number by 10 to find its true top speed of ~175,000,000c On the list you provided (which is fascinating, by the way), only Daedalus, Spaceball 1, Planet Express ship, the TARDIS, and Heart of Gold are faster than a Forerunner Keyship at full power.

Yea [quote]So yes than it goes faster than any star wars galactic civil war era ship, thank you for helping me see that and pushing me to double check the math and figure it out myself. Thank You.[/quote] so thnx m8 i do enjoy learning new stuff an actually pretty surprised i could with your pushing actually calculate that equation with numbers that large lol thnx
