Full human-machine interfacing is also much harder, and doesn't appear to later technology levels than in an UltraTech text/html 2015-02-04T22:40:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/genres/scifi/tech/space_drives?rev=1423089654&do=diff Space Drives Most of the following discussions are about reaction drives - those that work by throwing something out the back to push a space craft forwards. All require 'fuel' (actually, reaction mass, but it's the same thing for chemical rockets and fuel is easier to write), of which any vehicle will have a finite supply. This means that any reaction drive will have a maximum speed - though it can keep on accelerating, eventually it runs out of fuel. For spacecraft, this is generally known as text/html 2018-08-30T20:48:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/genres/scifi/tech/space_weapons?rev=1535662116&do=diff Space Weapons Since YAGS SciFi aims to emulate the softer side of science fiction, the focus is on providing a range of different energy weapons at technology progresses, without too much regard to the scientific and practical validity of such weapons.
