tachyonic FTL travel?

+0
−0

Suppose you had a device with the ability to temporarily give your ship tachyonic properties. Would this allow for FTL? How would it affect warfare in a sci fi universe?

The reason I am asking this question is because FTL seems mostly based on wormholes, foldspace, etc. and to me those don't have the right feel for my story. I am trying to make a military sci fi with a seif contained ftl device with no external infrastructure.

Please explain in layman terms, am not a scientist.

EDIT: I do understand that time travel is a possibility, and will adjust plot accordingly if it presents itself...
