 November 22, 2010 - 9:54pm | Content of Ultimate Equipment Guide project Cloud FlyerCloud Flyer The cloud flyer is an atmosphere craft specially designed for use in hostile environments. It has a completely pressure-sealed cabin and cargo area to protect the occupants and equipment from the environment. A cloud flyer.s main wings are swept back, and it has a shorter pair of wings, or canards, mounted near the nose. Cost: 40,000 Cr (rental fees . 200 Cr down, plus 100 Cr/day) Top/cruise speed: 400 kph/l50 kph Passengers: 6 Cargo limit: 3,000 kg, 3 cubic meters  Used with permission from Gergmaster I was updating a reference for Issue 15 and read a bit of "For a Fistfull of Credits" Dragon #112. All this talk of 'What is SF cannon' and I see David Zeb Cook submitted thought computers, cloning, memory recording and more. Kinda outside the scope of what most of us like about SF. Anyway, got inspired to draw his vehicle. I submitted it for Issue 16 if we lack gear, otherwise I could throw it in #17. |

Memory recording doesnt sound too far of a jump from the hypno learning centers that are already in the game. I think Fusion power should seriously be considered as another plausable innovation. I hope that one day gravity technology will be accepted by the community if applied in a conservative and balanced fashion. I dont think we should abandon the Vertical deck configurations with the introduction of artificial gravity but it could make longer trips more endurable and get rid of the need of those awful velcro boots. |
November 23, 2010 - 7:06am | I agree on the gravity - conservative and balanced. I read some of the SW Darkstryder campaign and they could manipulate gravity on a ship down to the room, hallway, maint tube level. Too fantasic for me. I'm watching Aeon Flux and it appears you can swallow a "communication pill" and receive a message. I'm going to type it up in the Ultimate Equipment Guide |
