We need to have at least one hook structure on the ship!

................

Maybe you could be..... constructive?

[Arcvasti]

Might not be a bad idea to have a vaguely aerodynamic design, if there's air or any other atmospheric gasses on the other end of the Black Star. And part of me, even though its probably not a good idea, likes the idea of having a sharp pointy end we could ram into things.

Actually. An aerodynamic design is a Good idea at relativistic speeds. The normally sparse particles of hydrogen that saturate the interstellar void become the equivalent of landmines. Thats part of the reason I insist on a shield.

But we wouldn't use a pointy end. We would use a domed end. And we would /Never/ ram into things.

[LuckyKobold]

Yes building a giant Hook is constructive but we should have some repair drones to repair ramming damage.

[WillowLuman]

Ramming damage = fucking demolished.

You're going in solitary as soon as the AI has an IC reason to put you there.

And no. A hook is stupid as fuck.

All I have so far:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3 Thrusters and 6 Reactors so far. Critique away!

[blazing glory]

Magma reactors! Brilliant!

[~Neri]

I recommend multiple floors. Engines built into the ship. Not attached to the sides.

[Pencil_Art]

Okey-dokey. Magma just representing reactors as I have no idea what kind(s) we will be using.

If the hydrogen is such a problem why don't we make it into an asset and have a forward collecting dish to collect it to power the engines. Then we wouldn't have to waste as much space on shields.

Also, I'm in favor of throwing Kevak in the bring for being a spoil sport for no good reason.

Good luck putting an AI controlling the ship in the brig.

We need a shield. It's not optional unless you want to fry.

[kj1225]

AI are replaceable.

Future tech plus planets that are totally different from earth. There's probably a material that resists radiation better than lead.

[~Neri]

Give a theoretical material capable of the radiation resistance you suggest. Mind you, it'll near certainly weigh more then lead. And take up more space then a shield generator and projectors.. Mind you said generator has been theorized and is going to be in use for experimental satellites irl by 2023.

And AI's aren't really replaceable, specially if the only major source of sapient AI's hates you.

Also guess what AI are immune to? Acceleration and deceleration. Guess what organics aren't immune to? High g acceleration and deceleration.

This is a colab mission. If the AI really needs to have several crewmen detained because they don't know how space works and attempt to sabotage the mission, I will be sorely disappointed.
