The IPVs are fast transports that also function as ready-made forts once on station. They are too expensive to risk in direct offensives (not to mention they're your only ride home).RocketDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737339078433321350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252175094403576854.post-53922244835080761852011-02-22T21:49:30.049-06:002011-02-22T21:49:30.049-06:00Hmm.

I mean no fuel and next to no fuel are great but there are situations where I'll want to <b>move</b> and for that I need a reaction drive. Plus, in this setting they make a nifty weapon and a militarized drive would probably be a frightening thing to be on the receiving end of.<br /><br />Also, IStrannikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087783366276504178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252175094403576854.post-71514772132445961642011-02-20T15:15:48.531-06:002011-02-20T15:15:48.531-06:00It was my understanding that the ionized plasma su...It was my understanding that the ionized plasma suspended in the magnetic fields deflected the lasers. Part of the m2p2 system's design is the idea that laser installations can be used to boost the sail craft in the outer system and allow it to fly "against the wind" sun-ward. <br /> I did not know that about the antimatter; in fact, Albert, you may have solved a major problem IRocketDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737339078433321350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252175094403576854.post-6513244076967131932011-02-20T13:57:20.428-06:002011-02-20T13:57:20.428-06:00A quick nitpick on an otherwise cool design:
