The H-drive induced wake field would theoretically "grab" but not slow down any object without a H-drive. This can of course be changed with enough technobabble ;). The force induced by an object moving in the H-field could be stronger if its speed was higher, initially this would mean that the dec...

:shock: What did I just read? It was quite a great post, but few questions that came to mind: 1. Heisengberg fields producing "hard light"? I thought the fields just were able to affect whether the cat is dead or alive when we check it, and "move" stuff around using that. Am I wrong? 2. Light can't ...

The H-drive induced wake field would theoretically "grab" but not slow down any object without a H-drive. This can of course be changed with enough technobabble ;). And for the missile-type cruise distruptors, you just: 1. Get a powerful enough energy source (battery?) 2. Get a powerful enough field...

*snip* this would also make some possibility for "cruise disruptors", special weapons that increase by some way (other than shoot stuff in the others H-Field) increases the computations needed to accelerate further I immediately thought of a ball, that spun using an oversized H-field to produce a w...

Let's get back on-topic shall we? I see two possible implementations of this: A) We say it's an automatic system syncronising small ships with big objects like capitals an asteroids. Slowing down could be justified with more processing. Pros: -Simple -Missiles and stuff not affected by it. -No probl...

Thanks! I've been lurking these forums few months now. Wasn't this contest supposed to end by now? Or are time zones just messing me up?

First post ever. I hope you like it. It's short. Last Sol had been hiding in silence for eons after humanity left Earth for the last time. Their ruins were still visible as metallic structures slowly turning around, abadoned, as a mark of a vanished glory. It would not last for long. The ships came,...
