.....Umm, we already said no pirate ships. You want a rescue vessel? Fine, design it, but don't call it a former pirate ship.
On a side note, I like how we are all generally going for a Norse theme with our ship naming(with a couple exceptions)
The Heimdallr long range laser Corvette's advanced triangulation system detects no such exceptions.
Changes are in boldLux Heimdallr Class Laser corvette
corvette class
Team:us, mark, anton
time:3 months
Volume: about 10m*10m*40m,
general description: Small and elongated, the Heimdaller is basically a large laser, built with as few rare components as possible. The laser is powered by a large battery and several large ceramic capacitors,
which allows it to make do with a much smaller reactor. The laser is controlled by a set of advanced targeting algorithms specialized in triangulating ships from long distances using large amounts of sensor data, making it compatible with sensor drones, and the
corvette itself contains an Oculus Sensor system. The ship is also equipped with external drone racks, allowing it to launch a small number of drones such as the Oculus or hiram.
Priorities:[/b]
Laser focal range-2
targeting algorithms-2
cheap materials-1
Im resubmitting my ship for this round, and i have an idea:
a big rod of a heavy material (like tungston of glass) acting as a rocket. aim it at a target, fire and watch as the near invisable rod of material impacts with a lot of force.
Thanks for describing the general principle of a mass driver. Or you know, any modern day gun.
How do you plan on arcelerating it. Rocket engine, railgun,...
Also, course correction, you have to be pretty close to have even the slightest amount of accuracy.
Might be a good idea, but the weapon would have massive recoil, and in space that would be a huge problem. That's why I like lasers.
