more on the _Dinimbue_ xboat design....
I just realized that I subconsciously neglected to stress the
interior of the hull for acceleration. Obviously, it shouldn't be
necessary in this design, but if you retrofit a manuver drive of
some sort into the thing, you should consider it.
on RCEG review, musings....
I just realized, if grav belts typically move around by propellor,
and contragrav only reduces a 1G field to 0.01 G, what happens
on a vaccuum world -- do you float down like a feather? You can't
fly to high altitude either. Your velocity varies with density of
atmosphere. Yuck. I *really* miss the old grav modules.
The _Pyrrhus_ "grav tank" has been identified as the so-called
grav tank in the TNE rulebook, and has a virtually identical
silhouette to vehicle #11, "Striker Grav Tank, TL9" in DGP's
_101 Vehicles_. I knew I saw it somewhere.
