General Discussion / Propellantless propulsion drive by NASA veteran can theoretically reach escape v

« Last post by jr2 on April 23, 2024, 10:53:44 pm »

Dr. Charles Buhler, a NASA engineer and the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed that his company’s propellantless propulsion drive... has produced enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity.

The Modding Workshop / Re: PVDi Aker-class Interdictor

This looks like a very interesting ship and lore.

Minor question though:  shouldn't it be called GVDi instead of PVDi?

You are right. I had just realized the distinction today. PVDi would be pre-GTVA, as the Parliamentary Vasudan Destroyer, as opposed to the Galactic Vasudan Destroyer. Thanks for the insight!

I like both of your designs; though when I saw the first one I was reminded more of a contained ecological system or seed vault ship (a design I would very much like to have for the Vasudans) than a warship.

I do happen to have an ancient Vasudan colony ship planned for a different project. ;P

I'm sure the simply answer to this question will be, 'try it and find out', but what would happen if I combined this flag with "hide ship name" and then gave the ship an escort list priority?

Ah. I keep forgetting to adjust its size. Thanks.

The destroyer is intended to be Post-Capella, leading up to the Blue Planet timeline. Though I am unaffiliated with the Blue Planet team (unfortunately), all my current mods are intended to be in their universe, but not take place in War in Heaven's time or location.
Even if not used as an Interdictor, the design could definitely work for just another big mean ship.

The project I am intending this ship to be in is a pre-Blue Planet wargame between the Terrans and Vasudans, testing some of the technologies and tactics that would be referenced in, or demonstrated in War in Heaven. So the player would get to play the same wargame from the Terran and the Vasudan sides, making their choice at the very beginning
