Muaha! it is complete! ish...
Find my faults! I know I have some, I just can't see 'em. Help me make this thing into something usable. I've got a plan for something.
Zakalwe
If you want to RP in this ship you'll need massively more complete descriptions of the interior. Look at something like the Thanatos or Sakura to see how much description you should ideally have.
In addition I'd expect a luxury vessel to have some higher defences, and possibly a HEX cannon or two - they're basic for low power NovaCorp vessels. Other than that I like the way the ships developing.
kai
The way I meant it to be was a customizable ship, so each one would look different inside, and for RP purposes, each one would have its own Wiki describing the interior in more detailed, to show the uniqueness of the vessel. I Guess I could do just a standard options detail, but not now, I'm too tired and busy.
What do you mean by higher Defenses? it's a civillian ship not meant for combat, and it's fast so it's more practical to run away than attempt to tough it out. Though when I put one into Rp i'd probably have it customized to fighting quality, but still, this is standard loadouts, saying nothing of what options are, as the options are anything legal that the buyer can imagine.
I'm going to have to look up HEX cannons to see what they are...
Thank you for liking my idea.

I'm just saying that rich people like their protection, and with NovaCorp technology it wouldn't be hard to have a higher shield strength. However it's not a matter that approval rests on.
By the way, it would take a few years for an Ion drive to his 0.5c.

Points at the Crooked Demon reaching 0.7c velocities in almost no time with, if I recall correctly, roughly 4000-6000% the Specific Impulse of the strongest theorized ion drives.*
A wizard did it. Or, the anti-gravity device thing it has.
kai
I fixed the descriptions of rooms to have detailed descriptions of the standard models.
I checked over the HEX cannons and decided my EMP cannons should work fine and are sufficiently low tech enough to not put up warning flags.
SL, I think I may have to do said anti-grav things to make my speed "more plausible" If someone has a better way of making the ship's STL speed be .5 C, could you help me out?
I also think I need a power source, such as a generator of some kind, And no one seems to notice that they are missing. what is a power supply that is strong, long lasting before needing to be refueled, and NOT aether or hyperspace tap?
Zakalwe
NovaCorp traditionally uses Quantum Foam. Look at The Gates and Onslaught.
kai
Thank you Zak, I have added that to my submission.
Soresu
Or use some form of anti-matter reactor. If you have a matter collection system on board, you'd basically be able to refuel as you travel I imagine. But Zak beat me to it with the Quantum Foam.
Not to nitpick, but, at 262,980c for the CDD makes it nearly as fast as a Sakura-class gunship in CDD which goes at 300,000c.
kai
well, it's basically a Ferrari of the stars, it's meant to be really, really fast. I actually toned it WAAAAYY down from what I originally put for the speed.
Soresu
Well, does it just use one Ion Drive, or more then one to accelerate to 0.55c? *is actually curious now* You could probably slap on a low end Gravimetric engine to it, and have the same speed, but at a faster acceleration rate.
kai
I was wondering that, too, since I don't really know what type of drives do that... someone already told me the Ion drive accelerated way too slow.. so I need to change it.
