Here's something I thought about after reading the Starship
Ops Manual...
OK, it says the jump drive generates this enormous amount of
energy, and sends it to the Lanthanum hull net, where just
the flowing of energy is enough to tear a hole in our dimension
and enter jumpspace.
Question: how does all that energy get from the drive to the hull
without mangling space inside the ship?
Come to think of it, how does it manage to flow through the net
without vaporizing it, the hull or the entire ship? If there's
any resistance, the heat would be enormous, and if not, it would
be impossible to direct, wouldn't it? (OK, I stank in physics.
Maybe some physicist/MegaTrav-fanatic could tell us all how the
Jump Drive is built. :)
