Prototype Conversion Matrix undergoing testing in Pluto orbit.

   

   

   

You can find a technical description of the device's function and role in message set V^M-55.  For Terra, for Humanity!

Styxx promised me he would show it firing...

wahhhhhhhhhh! <cries>

Hey, I had to leave something for later, right?

I'll post pics of it firing... sometime.  

[Unidan]

WOW!!! So what your saying is that the conversion matrix is half the Apoc!?
Jeeez
But, could you clarify that transmission in ENGLISH for the other people who don't understand. But, if I'm right the Conversion Matrix generates a huge amount of power that can rip a ships' molecules apart, shielding dosen't help the ship, and it generates huge radiation emissions.

Let's say it together...

Good, now say it 50 times fast. Excellent, you may now procceed to TSM-20724 2337

[Shrike]

Yep, that's it in a nutshell.  

[Shrike]

Styxx's original concept was to have it simply convert matter into energy.  Of course, I took a look at that and basically said 'that's a ****LOAD of energy' if you, say....vape a Sathanas.  More than enough to explosively destroy the Earth.  So I dove into my knowledge of astrophysics and particle physics and came up with something that had a comparable effect without all that excess energy to deal with. (in the original configuration, the Apoc would emit more energy than the sun when it used the C-M)

[Nico]

would have been a little overkill then  

[heretic]

oh
my
god

[KillMeNow]

more energy than a star you say? hmmm well puts teh sathanuses blowing up capella to shame if you can get the same energy out the end oof a beam cannon   hehe - hmmmm thinks up idea for nasty weapon hmmmm the atomic polarity reverser - gives protons a negative charge causing atoms to exposivily disintergrate =)

causing a chain reaction, destroying your vessel, and crew..  

[Daedalus]

Oooh. Purty.

I wonder how scaled down the details are gonna have to be to work in FS though.

I even know what this is, and I'm still amazed.  

[Fineus]

Oh my god!   I'm impressed dude, this thing 0wns

Dumbass, it's the conversion matrix.

[Slanker]

It won´t win any battle, tho.... something you should consider: recharging rate.
Shrike said it´ll use ****loads (   ) of energy. Well, tho the Apoc has a pretty cool reactor, it can´t fire the CM every 2 seconds, y´know  

[Griffon UK]

would be pretty pointless if it could

Actually, the recharging rate is not much of a problem, since it actually acquires energy for the reactor instead of spending it, after the initial activation charge. But it has a few other problems that might prevent it's use - most of them are described on the messages, you just have to read carefully.

I'll bet if you disable the spinning rods, the ship is useless

Those images look nice...
