bumping again; okay, citizen and i have been talking at length about this, and ive seen that everybody here is willing to do some work in putting this togther, which is great. but i think we first need to know what we are going to put in the manual, to have a kind of group concensus.
to that effect, could everyone list the dates and times that they would be availiable to chat on AIM, if they want to, so that we can actually figure out this tech stuff? Just post your availiability here on this thread; ill look and see if they can all coincide, then set us up a room at that time. obviously, if it works out that easily, ill just post the time and adress of the chat room so we can all get going. if its not that easy, ill fill u in.

I would love to be in on thise project, whenever I can get to a Internet-equipped computer. As for the whole Fusion/Photon thing, we know Fireflys ACCELERATE to Full Burn by a fusion explosion out the back, but it obviously is not always doing that (otherwise, their fuel would run dry, as was their worry in the pilot). So maybe once they have accelerated up to "cruising speed", they turn on the damned photon drive to stay there (although that would be one hell of a photon drive, I will say that). And that does not even get into how the Alliance Cruisers propel themselves, although I would guess that the shuttles and Gunships are straight reaction drive (which would also explain their range limitations as being very short-"breking atmo from a wide orbit"; after all, Earth's moon is just about a light-second-300K km-from Earth, and we got their with '60s tech. So either the shipdesigners in the Firefly 'verse have forgotten how to design something that can just drift, or there is some reason that you always needs to have your engine going: gravity, perhaps?
By the way, if Serenity's "radion accelerator core"/main engine is what provides primary life support and GRAVITY, then when the damn thing died in "Out of Gas", shouldn't they have lost gravity? I know the budget was too low for extensive weightless shots, but as something to mention, what kind of gravity systems (since they are so advanced in this verse) do ship in the Firefly 'verse have?
Just some food for thought. If you would like to include me (as best as I can get time to), e-mail me at aeriongrey@yahoo.com or simply post back here.
Peace.

Hey AGrey, all are welcome!
We've thrashed out a possible design for the main drive, that seems pretty good, Basically it accelerates to full speed, and then coasts...
But anyway, we're doing alot of this over AIM, so if you can get it, and give us an indication of when you'll be on-line that would be great.
