This is the completely finished RC-III! It is the new mothership for RC Industries. Capable of high warp, and warp positioning, it uses highly advanced technology in every system. Patriam must fall! RC-III two years ago: ID:1299711

    There are 3 warp core positioners (They are just NBLE excited by sparked PSCN) that control x,y, and z directionals. The large engines on the side are for high speed thrust and warp travel. The small random neut in the back can be used as thrust depending on how the 3 warp cores act, but it is usually just waste from the reactors and other systems. The little dome of INVS on the back is normal thrust, hardly anything.

    Wait a second. When the reactors are on, neutrons come out of the back in erratic fragments, while when I click a switch, there are large bursts of neutrons out of the sides. Is the former the normal thrust, and latter the high warp thrust? If so, then I take my previous comment back.

    I think the thrusters should give steady pressure, so that the ship will be theoretically pushed forward, but besides that, I really like the design!

    The engines are built to run hot, but not melt. It does take a lot of cooling to keep them from melting, mostly in the NBLE sections. The PHOT won't melt any parts, but contributes the most heat. I added a set of syncs on the outside of the engines near the NEUT output (Typically the hottest section of the engine). It make a small difference, and allows them to cool down faster once powered off.

    btw good job

    May I suggest radiators or some kind of pre-cooler for engine

    Thanks!! It took a long time to make this, especially the engines. They liked to melt or be caught in SPRK loops. The interior was also pretty hard, specifically the electronic controls.

    I love the detail in this thing! +1
