I used the shuttle for my example specifically because it was not as aerodynamic as a missile or rocket. I reasoned that the space... -
Pioneer may present a more realistic mechanic. But considering that High Guard has reactionary rockets factor/three at technological...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.A big TL-8 chemical R-Drive —one that chews through ~11,000 lb of propellant per second—effectively behaves like a ~1.8G...

"At those TLs" no one currently alive has any idea what will work or not work, because no one knows what the technological constraints...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.Yes, the sarcasm was intentional. Your comment about needing someone with "real aeronautic knowledge" wasn’t exactly made in a spirit of...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.Would you prefer if we called them "adaptive aeronautical control surfaces" or "Atmospheric Manoeuvre Enhancement"? It doesn't change...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread Zhodani Psionics.I was a huge Dune fan in the 80's and 90's. So yes, we had certain adventures with lots of quasi-Fremen and Bene Gesserit inspired...
-
As for Boost & Psychic Transfer - yeh, if they are used in different ways then keep both. My second paragraph, I now realise could be...
-
Going by Traveller travel mechanics, you could have a slow ascent rocket, since the formula is acceleration minus local gravity field...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread Zhodani Psionics.I saw your edits to the original post. Boost is very different from Psychic Transfer, as Boost is basically an Aes Sedai Circle (or...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.I should mention, IMTU there are four different styles of streamlining (yes, adapted from 2300AD): Ballistic Hydrodynamic Lifting Body...
-
ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.That is it exactly. Aerofins don’t make the hull more aerodynamic; they provide active control authority that prevents structural...
-
ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.@MasterGwydion glad you approve. I have ported some of the 2300AD rules IMTU, and this played a huge role in some atmospheric/aquatic...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread FFW doing it my way.Fast (300–500 km/h) — Standard Hull Subsonic (800–1,200 km/h) — Streamlined Hull Supersonic (1,200–6,000 km/h) — Streamlined + Aerofins...

ProfGrizzlyJon replied to the thread Detecting things underwater?.Absolutely. A ton of stuff in the Seastrike article in JTAS Volume 4. "The general underwater hubbub will affect shipboard sensors only...
