As I recall, bulkhead walls are the same as default zero factor hull.
They're meant primarily as damage control limitations, in case you hit an iceberg.

Re: Spinal Weapons and Minimum Ship Size
Maximum fifty percent of hull volume.
The real issue is multiples, since there's actually no reason not to have them, unless artificially restricted.

Re: Ship Design Philosophy
High Guard lists viable anti matter power plants (and ordnance) availability at technological level twenty, so presumably an anti matter propulsion drive might be a couple of levels below that. For real life, I would think they'd first develop an anti-matter warhead to replace the fusion one in stra...

Re: Jumping away from gas giants
Each planet began as microscopic grains of dust in the accretion disk. The atoms and molecules began to stick together, or accrete, into larger particles. By gentle collisions, some grains built up into balls and then into objects a mile in diameter, called planetesimals. These objects were big eno...

Re: What happens if 2 black globes touch?
Does it include quantum energy? The energy of an electron?
You have stories of black globes used for ground defence.
If you absorb all energy, does the material disintegrate because it has no bonds to anything else?

Re: Jumping away from gas giants
I was looking for an easy way out.
So what creates gravity, iron?
We take the diameter of the solid core in the centre of a gas giant, times it by the surface gravity, and multiply that by a hundred.

1. I wouldn't try transitioning within the atmosphere, but with Scotty at the engines, ten orbits is doable. 2. A good astrogator is worth his weight in gold, though to be fair, millenia of astrography would pretty much nail every gravity well in Chartered Space. 3. There is some form of critical ma...
