Is there a way - theoretically - to generate particles that have a charge, as in a fusion process? Just wondering. Be nice to have fusion plants without...

Greetings: "Transhuman Space talk about a 2nd generation Fusion plant that uses special Helium (?? - it's been a while since I read it)." Probably Helium-3. Do...
Howdy all, I'm in the process of redesigning Tactical Command second edition and I'd like to gather some ideas on a new game scale. TCOM2 focused on space...
... Gravity mostly affects combat if you're fighting near planets or have limited delta-V. In general, for gravity to matter 1G should be significant thrust,...
... I was figuring on orbital and cislunar combat. So, I might have to operate at several different scales. One hour burn turns with 10,800 km hexes would...
... Hm. If you actually want orbital combat, 1G should actually cover multiple hexes in a turn, with a thrust increment of well under 1G. ... It would be...
... Feh, I'm not a rocket scientist. You went from 18 to 1800 km over a 10x increase in time. So, does that means when I scale up from 10 minute burns to one...
... LOL, remotely accurate is all that I really want. Perhaps it is better to say that I'm working on orbital game mechanics than orbital mechanics. Would it...

In the old Rocket Flight game, it had lots of gravity arrows. The way they work has one major difference with Triplanetary. In Triplanetary, every gravity hex...
