- krapp 1y ago1) it's better for the plot and drama to have travel time. FTL in fiction is always analagous to some known terrestrial form of travel (usually ships and boats) and the limitations and parameters of FTL in a fictional universe shape the narrative in necessary ways. 2) it's assumed within the framework of the fictional universe that time dilation isn't taking place because the actual travel is occurring within an external frame of reference like "hyperspace" or a "warp field."
