![]() It also allows for a higher ratio of UF4 to helium, which in the terrestrial version would be kept just high enough to ensure criticality in order to increase the efficiency of direct conversion. Since the space concept doesn't necessarily have to be economical in the traditional sense, it allows the enrichment to exceed what would be acceptable for a terrestrial system. It has both terrestrial and space based applications. It would have a gas or vapor core composed of UF4 with some 4He added to increase the electrical conductivity, the vapor core may also have tiny UF4 droplets in it. ![]() The vapor core reactor (VCR), also called a gas core reactor (GCR), has been studied for some time. It may also be possible to confine gaseous fission fuel magnetically, electrostatically or electrodynamically so that it would not touch (and melt) the reactor walls.Ĭonsidering how a gaseous core reactor might make and its possible applications does a possible way of implementing an artificial fission star. However, maintaining a gaseous core nuclear reactor may be compromised by the need for containment of the gaseous fission core. Conventional reactors have stricter limitations because the core would melt if the fuel temperature were to rise too high. In this type of reactor, the only temperature-limiting materials would be the reactor walls. Its good enough for me though.An artificial fission star could be stellar-sized gaseous nuclear reactor.Ī gas nuclear reactor (or gas fueled reactor) is a proposed kind of nuclear reactor in which the nuclear fuel would be in a gaseous state rather than liquid or solid. So all in all I've got an Arwing with 8.3k shields qith a reasonably fast acceleration curve but handles side to side strafing a little sluggishly. It took a couple of days to work that bug out and then adjust for the shields (which I put in the wings empty space). Dog-fighting a pirate resulted in energy drain if I was moving and shooting at the same time. The one thing I had to overcome after that was the power requirements. I also tweaked the missile bay so its damage went up to 200 flat. I got creative and made them a pair of dual cannons instead and use a little bit more than 32 gun blocks by shoving them upward slightly into the "g-diffusers" resulting in a punch of 204.6 (104.3x2). You also said you used a total of 32 cannons (16 per side, 8 per bank). ![]() You said linear stacking allows the cannons to get more powerful, However the "quad cannon" concept felt out of place to me. I couldn't find any blueprints of this so I had to make my own using these three screenshots as a template. Then after that I might build the Wolfen and then a giant Andross head. Honestly, I don't think it's powerful enough.Īfter this, the Great Fox is next. I'm not quite satisfied with it, so I will likely tweak it relentlessly in the near future. Their relentless assault only depleted my shield meter by a measly few pips, which regenerated a few seconds later. The shield systems are stored in the blue side pylons, and with them I've taken heavy laser fire from an entire squadron of space pirates. With it I can core an asteroid roughly twenty times the Arwing's size in three shots. The homing missile system extends from the tip of the nose all the way to the exhaust ports. ![]() Owing to my firm belief that there is no such thing as overkill, the Arwing MK1 has four laser cannons, each composed of eight linked laser banks that combined hit like the fist of a tiny god. In Starmade, weapon systems grow more powerful when you link them linearly. I borrowed design elements from several Arwings to make this, which I call the Arwing MK1. Star Fox 64 holds a very special place in my heart, so the distinctive Arwing was obviously my first project. He said sure, so long as I don't throw him down any reactor shafts.Īnyway, here's my first completed ship. He wants to blow up whole planets while quoting Palpatine. I showed it to and he already plans to get all our friends on one server and build the Death Star. The moment I saw this game on the Yogscast I just had to try it out for myself. It's been called Minecraft in space, but that really doesn't do it justice. ![]()
