Sigtrygg replied to the thread Emergency Beacon Detection Range.The data you seek is available on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator#Models For the...
-
Sigtrygg replied to the thread Emergency Beacon Detection Range.The fuel requirements for fission power plants as they stand are several orders of magnitude beyond realistic. In this case real world...
-
Sigtrygg replied to the thread Emergency Beacon Detection Range.I completely agree on the need to revisit a lot of these things with real world science and engineering being the starting point and...
-
Sigtrygg replied to the thread Emergency Beacon Detection Range.Why would this sealed unit degrade any faster than real world sealed units? Many radiothermal generators have been built, and...
-
Sigtrygg replied to the thread Emergency Beacon Detection Range.This is now getting ridiculous, all of those options should be in High Guard or at the very least included in JTAS as HG updates until...
