Re: [Spaceships] Eclipse Phase Spacecraft
Try the Stealthed Landing Pod from Firewall.
"This landing pod is 3.5 meters tall, 3 meters in diameter [volume = 873.7 cf; surface area = 507.2 sf], and has a mass of 3 [metric] tons [empty?] [SM+3]. In addition to room for six morphs [6 * 200 lbs. = 1,200 lbs. (0.6 sh tn) = 3.907 sh tn total [SM+3.2]], it features a cargo hold with room for up to 8 medium-sized* pieces of gear and numerous smaller items." *Medium size items are cumbersome to hold with one hand, ranging from the size of a 2-liter bottle to the size of a medium dog. They do not fit in pockets, but they may be concealed by larger coverings. Large = Roughly human-sized. Since it's so small, it might not even have seats (which is fine, because it's usually drifting). |

So, one gram of antimatter possesses 90 TJ of energy content, which is the equal to 25 GW-H of electricity ($2.5 million worth of retail electricity at TL8). At TL11, antimatter is $25 million a gram, so the reaction mass probably contains 24 grams per metric ton. If we assume the same energy prices as TL8, the efficiency is 10%, meaning that you would need a 99.9% drop in energy prices for antimatter to be as cheap as you want.

What can you do with a GW-h? A human being possesses an average energy content of around 750 MW-h, so the energy content of a human being would be worth $75. Even at a 10% efficiency, you could make a human body out of raw elements for $750. One of the central elements of Eclipse Phase is the lack of resources to make physical bodies for digital entities, an element that could not realistically exist if energy was worth only $100 per GW-h of electricity. |

Manufacturing capacity, not raw energy or common matter, is probably the actual limitation.
