[quote=@Dark Light] Ok that sold it for me! Love the upgrade to the OP! Consider me interested. Pleeeaaasssse take me in! (Character is waiting on one more approval. Also I don't have discord.) [/quote] Alright, sure. It's looking like we'll be using this thread for discussion anyways. [quote=@Antarctic Termite] [hider=Fiddling around with ship details, if it ever becomes relevant.] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/314921563206189058/324090299448033281/calm_horizons_by_schism_walker-d94r2pt.jpg[/img] A former Harmonious Network bioship, albeit heavily modified- that is, destroyed, salvaged, and then hybridised with components of UFP origin to create an entirely new vessel. The LBPF spacecraft is effectively the engine of a much larger Network vessel with enough add-ons to make it functional and livable. Capable of FTL travel and not much else, the vessel relies on a virtual particle pair propulsion system for thrust. An organic matrix at the prow of the ship interacts with the quantum substrate to 'project' a stationary field of charged particles ahead of the vessel, which are entangled with antiparticles captured in the three hollow 'wings' at the stern. While the projected particles can be moved, their captured siblings remain stationary relative to the ship, pulling it along as they try to meet and annihilate the forwards field. Similar interactions power the vessel, which is capable of safely confining antimatter in the organoquantum matrix and reacting it with ordinary hadrons to release large amounts of energy. Due to its high energy density, antimatter isn't the most expensive fuel around, but the ship's crew have to live with the fact that they are ultimately flying the interstellar equivalent of a leaking propane tank. Better keep Giggles close at hand. The antiparticle field projector system cannot adequately function outside of a relatively true vacuum. This means that the ship struggles to accelerate through interstellar clouds, or even too close to stars, let alone in atmosphere. Its pulling power, however, is considerable. Mid-sized at about 250 metres long, the vessel nevertheless has very little interior space, by virtue of being a modified engine. It can support up to twenty people, albeit not for very long, or in any comfort whatsoever- It has a total of two bedrooms. [/hider] you're welcome [/quote] Ah, I like it! All Gigeresque and spooky!
