[RFC]Salvage and Repair Vessel Thrillmaster
 
#9
Well, that was just thrown in as a thought anyway. Maybe tone it down to something reasonable. Like 50g with a waved acceleration drive or something along that line.

But as far as I know the US Air Force did build a rocket that could pull 600g at about one second. But my Google Foo fails me to find the page that described it... >_<
Possible correction.
Quote:The Kinetic Energy Missile 'Jeb's Special' is the result of Jeb playing around with hardtech rockets and hearing about a rocket from the 60 that could pull 600g for about a second. He did not manage to do it through. His best rocket could only pull about 50g. But rather then throwing it in the bin, he decided to make it into a kinetic weapon to give the ''Thrillmaster'' an offensive punch if needed. The engine burns for about 10 seconds, allowing for course corrections during burntime. After burnout the missile become a dumpfire missile due to lack of maneuvering capability.
If that falls out too, I just add a larger coilgun to give at least some offensive capacity.
You know what? I just move to a pair of 60mm coilguns instead.
