Terrarian speed nerf.

[EMagoIorSouI]

What is the significant reasoning of the Terrarian being Massively FTL+ that is shown to be fast as an object's speed that is seen to be much slower than being faster than light.

Shown in this thread, the Star Fury's stars are capable of transversing its way to the Terrarian planet in less than half a second. It's presumed that the star came from a another star within the galaxy, and the nearest star within the galaxy is 347 lightyears away, which, if it made it to earth in that distance in less than a second, than yes, it's shown to be Massively FTL+.

However, it is shown, that even if the Star Fury's star came from a star 347 lightyears away, the speeds shown in game doesn't portray this. Once it makes it to Earth's atmosphere, those Massively FTL+ speeds are completely cancelled out, and is slowed down immensely, as the speeds when it enters Earth's atmosphere are shown to be comparable to, if not superior to the speeds of the Lunatic Cultist's lightning bolts, which are at Massively Hypersonic speeds.

So in conclusion, good ol' Terrarian should just remain at Massively Hypersonic, as the speeds he comparable to, the Starfury's star when it enters Earth, is no where near MFTL+.

The stars "slowing down significantly" is pure headcanon. You could say that for any speed in the game. The lightning bolts aren't MHS+ since they're not much faster than a rabbit or an arrow.
