Warp Drive Technology

This type of FTL drive is sometimes possible in a standard Traveller universe, but usually at very high tech. levels (like 17+).

Other aliens or other humans from alternate universes can sometimes develop this earlier (with all the attendant social ramifications). The following adaptation of this technology has been brought into the OTU by Prof. MacDougal via his time machine/probability ship.

Warp Drive
Size: 10%HV
Cost: 2Mcr./dt size
Energy: EP=size drive size in dt / (Perf. rating*10)
{TL16/100dt vessel: 10dt, 10EP, 24McrImp.}
{TL15/100dt vessel: 10dt, 25EP, 20McrImp.}
{TL14/100dt vessel: 10dt, 34EP, 19McrImp.}
{TL13/100dt vessel: 10dt, 50EP, 18McrImp.}
{TL12/100dt vessel: 10dt, 100EP, 17McrImp.}
{TL9-11/100dt vessel: 10dt, 168EP, 14,15,16McrImp.}
Performance:
TL17: 1psc/hr.
TL16: 0.1psc/hr. (2.40psc/day; 16.8psc/week)
TL15: 0.04psc/hr. (6.72psc/week)
TL14: 0.03psc/hr. (5.04psc/week)
TL13: 0.02psc/hr. (3.36psc/week)
TL12: 0.01psc/hr. (1.68psc/week)
TL9-11: 0.006psc/hr. (1.01psc/week)

{Thus the higher technology the drive, the less energy it requires to maintain warp at FTL speeds.}

High Energy Reaction Drives

Alternative high energy reaction drives (values per G of thrust)

{Gravitic drive included for comparison}

Atomic Thruster

TL6, Size=10%HullV, Cost=2Mcr./dt, 4%HV energy in EP from Fission Power Plant only,

0.5%HV per G-hour thrust, Max 5G.

Fuel type=H2O (water)

MHD Thruster

TL7, Size=2%HullV, Cost=2.25Mcr./dt, 5% energy in EP from MHD generator only,

Fuel consumption=2%HullV per G-hour of thrust, Max 6G.

Fuel type=HCD (Hydrocarbon distillate)

Air Breathing MHD Thruster

TL7, Size=2.4%HullV, Cost=2.25Mcr./dt, 5%HV energy in EP from MHD generator only,

Fuel consumption=1.5%HullV per G-hour of thrust, Max 6G.

Fuel type=HCD (Hydrocarbon distillate)

HePlaR (advanced plasma drive)

TL8, Size=2%HullV, Cost=0.2Mcr./dt, 10%HV energy in EP from fusion power plant only,

Fuel consumption=0.42%HullV per G-hour of thrust, Max 20G.

Fuel type=H2O (water)

Gravitic M-drive (for comparison, anti-gravity, inertial compensation, thrust)

TL9, Size=1%HullV, Cost=2Mcr./dt, 10% energy in EP from any type pwr. plant,

Fuel consumption=none, Max 12/16G.

Fuel type=n/a

Power Plants for the above

MHD Generator

5EP output, Size=1dt, Cost=0.1Mcr., Fuel consumption=6dt HCD per week

Fission Power Plant

8EP output, Size=1dt, Cost=0.4Mcr., Fuel consumption=1.2dt Radioactives per year

Fusion-8 PP

10EP output, Size=1dt, Cost=0.5Mcr., Fuel consumption=0.25dt L-Hyd per week
