Considering foam is mostly air, how effective is a foam system going to be in a vacuum?Fire and Hull Breach Suppression
Through the use of precision force fields and a foam spray system the Amaterasu is capable of effectively snuffing out fires and halting hull breach caused decompression. Fires are put out by cutting off air circulation, and forming a foam layer over combustible materials. Hull breaches can be sealed by creating a force field layer which will halt decompression, and allow for a foam patch to be placed over the hull breach until it is properly patched.
What effect do you think this has on DR, if any?Shield Systems
The Fifth Expeditionary Fleet has utilized data gained from the Himiko-class Light Escort (the YSS Asamoya) assigned from the First Expeditionary Fleet for joint operations in YE 30. Motoyoshi Fleet Yards selected this system to be utilized in some of their designs. Using a series of shield generators each with a redundant generator that provide alternate coverage on specific regions of the ship when integrity drops below a predetermined percentage. In practice, this allows the active shield generator to bear the brunt of incoming fire while the redundant generator remains on hot standby. As the primary generator drops in integrity, power is then increased to the redundant generator which seamlessly takes over the burden of shielding that portion of the ship, allowing the other generator to once again recharge on standby. As shield piercing/tunneling properties are generally only good to cleave through one layer of energy shielding, the Amaterasu can offer up to six layers.

Soresu said:In addition, the same gel used on the primary frame's major truss junctions has a thin layer within the secondary frame. Should a breach occur, the nodal based gel will harden, and act as a seal.

It has none. It's what we have, so I'm using it. As you can see, the Shield Rating is perfectly legit, and in compliance.

What does this fire exactly? There are a lot of words in the tech description but none of them really seem to mean anything other than saying something happens then things explode. Where the reactions occur and what they are used to do aren't even really described at all.
Aside from that, I am also fairly sure the weapon wouldn't work. Carbon + uranium doesn't make anti-matter, Gamma rays don't react with positrons in that way, and an anti-matter reaction wouldn't create a 'void' in space.

I'm sorry, but if you have nothing constructive to add on the entire design beyond harping about a weapon already approved for use by the Boss Man himself who has deemed it passable, and usable in the setting and is on a number of designs already which have all passed, why are you in here?
Uso said:I also don't see it being used on any other ships listed on the wiki.
I also don't know when this was approved as it seems to have been created only a few days ago.
The Amaterasu ship has a name taken from the anime Starship Operators, which is a practice frowned upon in this setting.
It does not list a range for its interdiction field.
It also has a main gun which is at best self contradictory in places.
Where does the original article specify this?Gamma Rays and positrons are not anti-particles
The energy can be lost and the meson carry a lower force. The meson can be decayed or fission into a lighter particle ergo partial width. There is also K-Decay but this isn't compatible with the existing GUT model.Gamma radiation can't be destroyed
Again... Is this specific to the Amaterasu?Void
They are unstable and their decay products are photons in the 10^12 MeV charge range. I think this is what was intended.Positrons are not radiation
It is entirely possible that the process is not the same as the contemporary method -- There may be a new way to induce a nuclear fission event and new ways to condense the photons with sufficient charge into positrons (since photons are the decay products of positrons) - My knowledge of particle behaviors isn't rock solid but to be honest, neither of us are up to doing the necessary math and examining the model - but it's a well established rule that products can be condensed back into a desired state provided the charge of the system and the level of entropy is reasonable.The above would also not produce a positron.
Each shot is measured by the built-in targeting computer so that the speed differentiation will cause the positron and gamma ray photon to collide upon the point of impact. When this occurs, an anti-matter/matter reaction spreads out from the of impact
his anti-matter/matter reaction also causes the stray nitrogen atom and the remaining gamma radiation to be destroyed
