Ramscoops (SS1:p21)
1. Can ramscoops be used to refill fuel tanks emptied while accelerating to minimum ramscoop velocity (1,800 mps) If so, what would the refill rate be?
2. If a ramscoop is being used for this instead of feeding a reaction drive, what sort of drag (deceleration) would need to be compensated for?
Solar Mirrors (SS7:p18)
1. Can a Solar Mirror be use to increase the power output of a Solar Panel Array (SS1:p25)?
2. How can a solar mirror be used as a weapon? Or a mining tool?
3. Shouldn't a "Solar Boiler" (SS7:p15) be a "Hull" system to access energy from the solar mirror?
Can Force Wings (SS7:p23) be used in conjunction with Hyperdynamic Fields (SS7:p24) to acquire the Hyperdynamic benefits of streamlining and the winged design option?
