I politely disagree with you 2019 Ford GT. I mean a large Crew Quarters would be nice but it's a one person combat explorer. I figured this was like Boomer's ship from Battlestar Galactica. Has the jump range to track, can fight if it needs to. I guess what I mean is you only need a cot, shower/latrine and a fridge. Maybe a TV screen that plays garbage Second Millennium movies from earth to keep you sane. Although a larger back room would mean a larger cot so I am down for that.

@@leihamada4672 agree with you. Unlike current aircraft, a future spacecraft won't have as much space to spare compared to present day aircraft similar in size. Same goes to present day turbofan powered aircraft compared to ww2 prop plane due to larger fuel tank, larger heavier engines, more avionics, etc. Future spacecraft might need heavily shielded electronics in vacuum for higher reliability, way larger sensors & communication equipment, larger fuel tank for having more engines & directional thrusters.

Extremely cool work! One thought that might help with space though - over on the Elite forums we're converging on the belief that "hydrogen fuel" must be stored in whatever dense form allows it to be shipped in standard cargo canisters, which have a density of around 700 kg/m3. It buys you a lot of space if you apply that to fuel tanks too.

That first build looks the more likely of the two, but in the case of the three thruster build, wouldn't the thrusters become 1/3rd of the size not just halved? doing that might save on some of the room lost to the FSD. Also FSD could also have some of it's volume relocated to smaller units on the side engine pods, just above powerplant modules. It could conceivably be split into a system of 2 L3 FSDs (or 4 L2 units) slaved to a L4 Unit in the center rear. Of course fuel would need to be moved, but that'd be achievable by adding a "sheet" tank in the armoured engine cover on the dorsal center rear, like you did with the rear "wings"

Love these vids as they feel inuitive as to where the sections of the ships would be but your design for the fuel tanks on this ship is problematic. For a ship that is designed to be able to take a hit it would be a massive design flaw to have a fuel system that stores the ships fuel on tanks on the outer hull. One impact from an armour penetrating explosive would either cause the ship to vent its fuel into the void of space or it would ignite destroying the ship
@_colonial_4 жыл бұрын
Eh, it's hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen is only volatile in an oxygen atmosphere, otherwise it just sorta hangs around. Only way to get it to do high energy things is fusion, which is so ridiculously hard to create artificially that it'd fail harmlessly if anything went wrong. Plus, the tanks in the video are distributed, so even if you knock most of them out the ship would still have enough fuel to make the jump to supercruise and escape.
@oDMACo4 жыл бұрын
@@_colonial_ think youre forgetting hydrogen when heated to high enough temperature turns into helium in an explosive process called fusion which is supposily how the ftl drive is powered. So if an impact from a superheated substance such as pure plasma it could cause the hydrogen to combust in a vacuum. The ship would pop like a star
@_colonial_4 жыл бұрын
@@oDMACo That's not how fusion works. You don't just need extremely high temperatures, you also need very high pressures AND some means of containing the fusion reaction. If you don't have all of these conditions met then no fusion for you. If it was as easy as pumping hydrogen full of heat we'd have invented fusion reactors decades ago.
@oDMACo4 жыл бұрын
@@_colonial_ this is incorrect: To make fusion happen, the atoms of hydrogen must be heated to very high temperatures (100 million degrees) so they are ionized (forming a plasma). Fusion already has been invented its called the sun
@_colonial_4 жыл бұрын
@@oDMACo Trust me on this. You can make *plasma* by heating hydrogen to extreme temperatures, but plasma is largely diffuse and does not produce energy. No fusion is happening in plasma. To get fusion, you need to apply extreme heat to hydrogen to create plasma, and then apply extreme pressure to force the hydrogen atoms to slam together and fuse, releasing energy. Fusion only occurs in the sun because pressure is generated by its immense gravitational pull.
