Acclamator and Delta7 engines

Post by Lord Revan »

The engines of Acclamator-class transport and Delta-7 Aethersprite Light interceptor starfighter have some structure just inside the thrust nozzle. What do think that thing is there for?

Perhaps part of the thrust vectoring system.

Yes, both of these craft have structures at the end of the engines listed as being electromagnetic thrust vectorers (is that a word?) in the SW2ICS.

No shit sherlock, of course it's an engine part.

Excuse me, I erroniously thought this was one of Revan's stock threads.

That and my copy of ICS2 is currently at the bottom of a box...

Pictures?

Ep II ICS doesn't have a rear view of the Delta 7. But listed on the cutaway pointing directly to the engine is; Electromagnetic nozzle elements direct and pinch the relativistic thrusth stream.

On the Acclamator, the blurb pointing to the engine states; Eight electromagnetic thrust vectoring panels delflect exhaust particle streams to provide turning force.

Since the Delt 7 lists as a manufacturer; Kuat systems engineering, subsidary of Kuat Drive Yards....

the same parent company that builds the Acclamator, I have to believe that they use the same stock parts and even design principles.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Yes, and don't forget that the thrust vectoring plates was part of the Imperator I design.
