Any idea what this ship could be? Or is it another Vatari senario?
Good guess. WC physics can be so bewildering
I think you need intnertial dampeners to keep from being turned to human sludge pie at every high-g turn.
My theory is this, in the the case of light fighters, the low mass can be driven by simply vectoring thrust through specialized exaust channels created by a low power sheild grid.each engine port could have it's own generator, in essence it would be like a paramecium swimming by controlling it's tiny hairs.
Heavier fighter are a little tricky, keeping the speed of top afterburn without burning fuel in the exuast nozzeles, a mechanism we call afterburning turbofans, would be difficult because velocity would diminish soon. With the thrusters point in sometimes in any direction but what they normally, you would need magnetic or static fields to vector exaust in the desired direction, but because of the ship's higher mass velocity would grind to a near halt because in space exaust has very little matter to push off of.
Solution? close the hydrogen ram scoops temporarily, this will reduce drag so the ship can maintain velocity longer.
To you guys that put up the cards: if such cards exist, I would like to request them.
Oh I wish I had seen your post before I completed this. I see there are several Strakhas. Anyone got one of these? I looked through the cards here and I didn't find any of them, I did several cool cards though.
