Speaking of changes in planning and ship designs, how does this affects handwavium techs?
Last I checked, Human Handwavium Techs included anti-grav, some sort of structural strength boosters(Passive IIRC... Then again, with what I've seen on telly regarding spider silks and human replication of materials with similar tensile strength, might not be 100% necessary) and quantum power source?
Also, what techs do the aliens have? I assume they have all of the above in some form or other, cloning/resizing(biological. How do you biologically resize someone anyway?) tech, possibly advance propulsion tech... inertial dampers/mass cancellers?
Also, another question is aside from veritechs and the SDF, how well integreted are the three handwavium techs into the rest of the world?
For example: ARMD platforms.
Are they built in space or on land? If on land, how do we get them into space. And if so, can they land on a planet again?
If they are built in space, how were they assembled? Is there a space station to manufacture them? How do we get the materials?
So at the very least, we would need an effective lift capability, or Anti-grav tech in order to have the ARMD platforms. As it is, the ARMD platforms were probably the testbeds for SDF techs.
Also, given that we effectively have unlimited energy(I assume in electrical form), we would prolly want to use Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters for all space craft since if we only need to feed the engines plasma to keep 'em going, this means unlimited flight times in atmosphere and efficient use of reaction materials in space.![[Image: Bansho.jpg]](http://www.animecubed.com/billy/pics/sigs/Bansho.jpg)
