Re: Fold Drives
Kay, Fold drives can neutralize existing gravity fields. Can they also strengthen pre-existing gravity fields or create/control them?
I ask mainly because it would be preferable to have artificial gravity for Humans to survive. Zentradi might be genetically enchanced to survive long-term without gravity, but humans rapidly adapt to gravityless conditions to the point where it can cause health problems.
BTW, Anti-grav != inertial cancellers. Mass of an object is proportional to gravitric attraction of said object to another object. Antigrav is the blocking of said attraction. Inertial is the amount of force you have to impart on something to change it's velocity(Speed + direction)
Also, if we are going to have something designed like the original Valks and have them execute manuveres like what we see in space sims(ignoring normal intra-atmospheric, cause that's a whole 'nother can o'worms), we are going to need some form of inertial dampers. Of course, we can say this is another function of the fold drives, but that beggars the question: What are the valks doing with fold drives and can they fold? Sure ain't cause of lack of power since they are lugging a core tap around...
Re: Core Taps
I assume that when talking about core taps, you mean something akin to Weber's Dahak series? Been a while since I last read the novel(second one IIRC) that describes the core tap.Since core taps are already handwavium, why not go a bit futher and say that the core tap designs we recovered already contains systems to convert radiation/hyperspace energy/whatever into usable forms, eg electricity
That way, we can use what(IMHO anyway) seems to be a safe means of propulsion, MPD Thrusters.

Re: ARMDs
Kay, build in orbit and materials from earth. Not investigating this too closely. But are they built in a space station? Are they testbeds for SDF tech?
