Subspace is what you find if you lift up the carpeting on the floor of normal space.  I know.  My fiancee spilled stuff all over my Z dimension, and I had to have the whole thing replaced.

If you poke subspace, it is bouncy and squishy at the same time!

After some kel-no-reem, I've revised my theory about Subspace.

See, it's like duct tape.

Stargate has subspace. Star wars has subspace (IIRC). Star Trek, hell, every other mission in Voyager was about subspace.

Does Babylon 5 or Wing Commander have subspace? I suspect they do.

See, subspace is the glue that ties everything together. And in subspace, an odd conglomeration of physics are used. This is why there can be no shields in subspace, and why it took so long for the GTVA to figure out how to track ships - they needed a combination of four different types of sensors to detect anything.

Some of you may recall seeing pictures of Star Trek warships in Freespace. How did they get there? There's only one way they could - subspace. Because everyone knows the FS2 engine doesn't support warping yet :p.

I rest my case.

Babylon 5 has subspace, yeah. Called Hyperspace, (at least in the french translation), but if you look at it, it's nearly the same thing that in Freespace : meaning that it's only a shortcut compared to real space, and you can get lost in it ^^. (Derelict, anyone ?)

No, subspace and hyperspace are different.  Subspace is below normal space; hyperspace is above normal space. :nod:;)

How when there is no such thing as up and down or gravity?:D
Whenever I hear subspace "below space" I get all confused

Though we also developed a faster method of travel when we found the dimension that contains everything that ever fell down the side of a sofa ;)
