2.22 kt, 86 Mc 1/3 reactor, 1/3 laser, 1/3 everything else (mass wise).  |

Lmao. Diameter 12 km. With only 100mg acceleration I suppose the radiators (especially seeing as they are made from 3D Graphene) will hold up fine.

Can we get the code and such we would need to recreate this? You'll need Graphene, 3D-graphene, graphene encapsulated U-233 and graphene encapsulated boron nitride. All can be found here. Although I renamed Graphene U-233 Cermet and Graphene Boron Nitride Cermet to Graphene Encapsulated U-233 and Graphene Encapsulated Boron Nitride , which is more correct.

You damned whippersnappers with your graphene and your space magic.

You damned whippersnappers with your graphene and your space magic. *shakes fist* It's like the best traits of diamond, graphite, tantalum hafnium carbide and vanadium chromium steel on steroids, but a lower density than lithium. It's expensive though. |

Space magic is what it is. *grumble grumble* The magic of carbon allotropes. Even stock materials (RCC, graphite airogel, diamond, ...) show how versatile and useful carbon is. Graphene is just an extreme example. |

should be using 3-D graphene until we know more

By the way, the same can be said about boron. @qswitched said, if I'm not mistaken, that boron represents amorphous boron, similar to amorphous carbon, but when I tried to look into allotropes of boron to see which is actually represented, I couldn't find any matches. Hell, even density in the game is closer to liquid boron than to any of the solid allotropes. Maybe someone knows what boron actually represents? Some of the material that see liberal use in ships in CoaDE are currently used as coatings and are produced by methods like chemical vapor deposition which are not only relatively slow and expensive but also often limited in thickness of the resulting material. Diamond also falls into this category. We can always say that there was some kind of revolution in additive manufacturing in CoaDE, but doesn't that violate the principle of using only tested technology? I find this unknown manufacturing method to be more handwavy, so to speak, than say neutralized particle beams or even nuclear fusion. |

That turnabout time (27.4 s) might pose some problems for the radiators though. Mhm... Unless I'm miscalculating, the ends will be turning at almost 1.4 km/s. Not sure about torque since I don't know precisely how much the radiators mass, but jeez. Although, I suppose a laserstar firing at 10Mm+ ranges probably doesn't need to manoeuvre much. |
