Hello All:
In regards to Lewis Taylor Goss's Jump Drive Rules, I was wondering how the
High Yield Fusion Power Plant Output figures were arrived at. I mean, I notice
that they are all multiples of 650 Mw, but Why? How do we arrive at the idea
that the Fusion Plants can be run for such an increase in output/Kl volume?
Further... If we apply this concept to Antimatter Power Plants, to what
degree could we increase the yield of said power plant? The Reason I ask this
is that we could conceivably create jump drives which utilize Antimatter Power
that require much less refuelling (or less fuel space) or Less Drive space.
This would be the way to go in higher tech-level designs, especially for
military vessels.
Of course, the day of the Antimatter Jump Drive installed on a Free Trader
is still way in the future... 8->
