Full human-machine interfacing is also much harder, and doesn't appear to later technology levels than in an UltraTech text/html 2019-08-24T14:05:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/scifi/index?rev=1566655536&do=diff SciFi YAGS SciFi is one particular view onto future history, which models itself on a softer, more heroic view of technology and exploration. Just as in Hollywood, SciFi characters can travel the galaxy, exploring exotic worlds and meeting green skinned aliens (clothing optional if you want classic space opera).scifi index text/html 2020-04-26T10:27:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/scifi/spacecraft?rev=1587896866&do=diff Spacecraft YAGS SciFi is all about spacecraft and travel between worlds, so having a system for defining spacecraft is important. The statistics used are simplified from real world values to make the maths of designing craft easier. Mostly, this involves including all the constants in the basic statistics. text/html 2019-08-24T13:54:19+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/scifi/space_drives?rev=1566654859&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 2019-08-24T14:08:40+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/scifi/space_weapons?rev=1566655720&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. text/html 2019-08-24T13:41:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://yags-rpg.net/scifi/travel?rev=1566654082&do=diff Travel Between the Stars To get from one system to another requires a Jump drive. It takes a week to jump between star systems, regardless of the distance travelled. Distance is usually measured in parsecs (3.2616 lightyears), and the best jump drives are capable of moving 6pc in a single jump.
