Previously I had 23.3, and I have seen 2 people use Moph\'s design to acheive an average of 23, congrats to them, and anyone who may beat that!!!!
This isnt a new challenge, so to help clarify, the solution to people suggesting lines is this,
\"Create the smallest reactor that can generate 1m regen, given a cubic average of (X+Y+Z)/3 \"
As for the utility of these compact reactors, simple, its for any capital ship. No, most ships wont use nearly the 80 full reactors i crammed into my ship, but they can still easily benefit from regen rates of 10-15 reactors on even the moderate capital ships.
Those argueing that the small reactors are hardly better than just solid cubes of the same size... arent accounting for mass, nor are they accounting for the size dynamic, the larger the space, the better a boxdim reactor is vs a cube reactor EXCEPT once you exceed the 1m regen, which is why this challenge is relevant.
Design a small 1m boxdim reactor, and you now have a unit that you can plug into any large ship you make in the future, as multiples of these *easily* outperform solid cubic reactors.
Theres my rant and im sticking to it :D
