Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.
I don't think so. Though in fairness I think that part of it is that Alzone isn't universally known. IIRC Philemon had only heard rumors of it until the Hellcats confirmed you could just go there and buy stuff. That's not a good explanation though.
The issue is that ShaperV directly told us to think about what we wanted to do in our six months, then pulled this bait and switch on us. It's hard to give up the gains we were planning on. We already invested something like 70 MCr in resources towards these plans. Letting go of sunk costs is *hard*.
Mild necro, but while I was going over ANoYo's TL53 DD with 533kt/s main gun output... That would require 260 grams of mass-energy per second, or almost a metric ton of mass-energy per hour.
But wait, P-P fusion only deletes 0.7% of the mass... Our destroyer must convert >130 tons of hydrogen into helium every hour, just to run the main gun. Firing for a week would burn through 22.5 kilotons of fusion fuel, even ignoring other demands.
Of course, that's not a big deal for a ship that masses almost half a gigaton... But it's interesting to think about.
It's an interesting thought. Though keep in mind that would require continuous firing at maximum rate that whole time. I don't think that's a realistic scenario.
Each frigate was carrying something like 9 megatons of fuel. So the amount going to the reactors would be a relatively small drain on that. Though keeping in mind the most common fuel would likely be methane instead of H2, the actual mass of fuel consumed could be like 4x higher. The destroyer probably has a proportionately larger amount of fuel to its mass, so 90kt is going to be tiny.
