You should check out what scientific knowledge there is about how FTL travel would really look IRL and go off of that.

For instance, at FTL speeds, all stars would seem to condense into a single point at the front of the ship, which would probably be very big, and bright white.

You wouldn't see any stars out to the sides, or the aft end because you're traveling faster than light, so it wouldn't be able to catch up.

@A7XRules4life This is actually really interesting. I may look into it and try to recreate the theory.

Very Dr. Who.

[Mercilless]

@nerdygerdy What???

@A7XRules4life

Don't forget about the redshift-!

Besides, we're probably not seeing light in the movie, but subspace as it interacts with the warp field and hull of the ship.

Nice effect there! Will be interested to see how you integrate the FTL simulation that A7XRules4Life suggested.

My understanding is that is impossible to say what ftl would look like seeing as it is impossible to got ftl

Mmm!  ^^

[finalfrontier1701]

@EVAUnit4A You are correct. It was stated a long time ago, perhaps by Mike Okuda, that even maximum warp is not fast enough to justify the stars streaking by...that it was an optical effect created byt he warp field as it interacts with light.

[spacehelmetforacow]

@Mercilless The light in front of you would probably also be heavily blueshifted, and (if you're just moving CLOSE to lightspeed, rather then faster), light behind you would condense into a single, heavily redshifted point.

[A7XRules4life]

Continuing from my last comment.

When radiation enters your warp field, it will turn blue (blueshift) and when it leaves the field it will turn red (redshift).

You got the blue part right, all you need now is a red trail behind the ship.

Looks great.
