      50km Speed LIMIT

      The size of a ship shouldn\'t effect its top speed only its acceleration/deceleration. To add higher speed you could add a second type of truster or jump drive that requires so much power to operate that it requires larger reactors. This puts interplanetary travel out of the ability of small...

      Ah you are quite right, the xyz stack method scales perfectly upwards but doesn\'t work on the smaller scale. like with 3x3x3 reactors: 9+9+1 = 19 but produces less power than: 9+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 17 because its has more unique parts. back to the 5x5x5 cubes: three dimensional checkerboard...

      Nice topic, spent a lot of time myself on these \'cube generators\' and ive accomplished the following. Dimensions - Blocks - e/sec - e per block 3x3x3 - 15 - 2051.6 - 136.8 5x5x5 - 64 - 4992.8 - 78.01 7x7x7 - 167 - 26,789.5 - 160.4 This tells us to stay well clear of 5x5x5, you could...

      Reactor Breeder - A Genetic Algorithm for Reactor Design

      Hey, what sort of levels are poeple getting with 7x7x7 reactors? i just wanted to check if my pattern is very efficient. Im getting 23776.9, can anyone beat that? i noticed you need at least 25000 to fully sustain a cloak and a jammer at the same time and thats before you add engines and...
