This is more like the beginning part of VDS which made suggestions of how various vehicles can be designed. Powered armor and powered exoskeletons generally...
While everyone is big on the anthropomorphic armors, I suspect that by the time TL12 ends we ought to have artificial limb tech and touch sensors down to where...

Hey all: The Black Death bubonic plague board game is now available at RPGnow.com: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=54873&affiliate_id=88 ...
Looking a little more closely on the concept of a civilization choosing a single major form of energy resource, a problem with fusion fuels was found. In...
An interesting analysis, but it does have its limits. Practically speaking, many fuels at some point require more energy to prepare than they deliver. Consider...
... In this case the analysis was equivalent to just having the refinery and powerplant sitting on the ocean and ignoring all start up costs. The only concern...
For those game masters who need to put themselves in the mood for designing a campaign background or monsters or just looking for inspiration from a rather...
Here is a strange idea for a spear design that does not appear to have existed, though it could have been. Part of this uses English (American) units. The...
The idea isn't strange or unknown. Such weapons were actually known as boar spears. As to the shovel / tonfa handle, I can think of several reasons it wouldn't...

This is another idea on how bypassing a certain aspect of reality could be used to have far-reaching effects. While more popular decades ago, there is the...
There is also the idea of using it as a pipe lining, to give zero resistance to the flow of liquids. This could make waterjet-type weapons more practical with...
Revisiting an old article. Here is a video of one person testing a version of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzhFnNY0OQI He used wood pulp from a paper...

Neil, Have you tried doing a discarding sabot design with a 10:1 l/w ratio subprojectile? This might get you better range numbers and a lighter total round...
Here are just some of the projectile design for a discarding sabot version. It is partially optimized with the idea of RC 8/6 and a range of DV 55 at 6.5 km...
