Are the designs in the files folder set in stone? No offense to the artists, but they look...kitbashed. I took a pass at the 10W flags and came up with the...
I'm afraid that having been published in the setting book, we are pretty much stuck with them. However, that doesn't stop us from having events later on to...
Nice work! I'd wanted the Romanov eagle in the NR flag, but my graphics skills make my two-year old look skilled. -- James Sterrett james.sterrett@......
I’ve been doing the math around the gaz-core nuclear reactor design and I believe I found out something interesting. But before I make my case, I’d like...
... What you're missing on this is that the storage capacity of a heat sink (and the power output of a reactor) is assumed to be an average of two curves. As...

I must admit, I really like the Pacifica flag, (though as stated it would need the FN star.) Pacifica (well at least parts of it) would have the prefect chance...

... I have. They're correct as far as they go, they just solve a problem that isn't terribly useful to solve (given a certain max operating temperature, which...
... We could file this as a later concept, if there's some suitable substantial shift in XC's government. Roundels themselves gain a traditional inertia that...

There are a few other assumptions that are somewhat dubious. The first is that radiators need to retract at all; a larger, lower temperature radiator won't...
... Remember, you have to survive the first battle to fight the second battle. In any case, if the first ship used as much total energy in its first battle as...
... Not precisely my bias. I assume that a ship will _always_ need resupply after any remotely significant battle (and insignificant battles can be dealt with...
... Then it becomes a component of the total weight of your reactor. However, how often would it really matter if the time required to flush your heat tanks...
Already sent directly. There being multiple governments of some size or other on Pacifica, it is possible that there is an organization or alliance using the...
... Even then, 'minimizing' isn't all that useful. Consider a simple case: 1 megawatt power generation, reactor core 1500K. Heat sinks start at 300K, 1 MW heat...
... Woops, I screwed up, those numbers are total thermal output for the core, not waste heat. Waste heat is 1MW less, or: 1200K radiators: 10.5% eff, 8.47MW...
Yeah, I agree, actually. I was informed that the fasces were symbolically essential, however, so I added them in. The bull's head doesn't center well, though,...
The Altiplanine Flag is indeed tricky. This planet was supposed to be a colony reserved for Caribean refugees, and thus the caribbean-inspired colors....
