So hypothetically, either a Dyson swarm, or what happens when you get in front of the death star. Cool And given the weird dips from the star... it could very well be planetary remains from an interstellar war. It's an F type star a bit bigger than the sun, that's probably close to where you want to orbit. F type stars live shorter lives than the Sun, but probably long enough intelligence can emerge. A type stars are where you don't want to be. And 1.83 AU isn't that bad, Mars orbits at around 1.5 AU

So.... Updates!! I've finished Chapter 16 (I know I said that before... I think, haven't updated in awhile but I merged some chapters) which now sits at 4.8k words I've also finished over 100 words on chapter 17, and about 65,000 words overall, It'd probably be more, but I cut over 4k words a couple weeks ago.

K2 72 would be the closest I think.

side from F, it seems like a slightly larger TRAPPIST-1 system.

How'd you figure that out?

Hyperloop... https://futurism.com/5-elon-musk-has-finally-confirmed-what-the-boring-tunnels-hes-making-are-for/

Solar, they don't have RTG's and batteries won't last long enough

They mention earthquakes in the faq

Have to take it one step at a time, people will still want to own and drive cars for awhile, this just to make driving within cities bearable for now.

Oh wow, @KSK, didn't see that, all of those savings!

Colonize EVERYTHING

Ahahahahahahahaha

I've written almost 2.2k words on Chapter 7 now!! Finally making progress again, huh? Yessssss. Anyway, it might be awhile until I get back up to speed, but I hope to make much more progress in the coming weeks

At LEAST ONE has to be real, I mean, c'mon.

So. Many. Habitable. Candidates. You're going to help quickly bring the count up to 60 at the rate you're going.

What's the ISP for NERVs with this? Is it essentially infinity? And how long do you think it'd take to reach high velocities?

Maybe slight deceleration, the real trouble begins at ~30k km/s or 0.1c, which is thought to be its 'speed limit' however, purely using magnetic fields and some fancy pansy engineering might allow it to travel to higher velocities, maybe even 0.2c But that is the fusion version, and this is KSP, so I think we can let it slide

@Dunrana I just read some more posts, and noticed you didn't want this to be an endgame thing But I have to ask this, if you're producing tons of energy, from say, nuke reactor or rtgs, would refueling take shorter amount of times? I imagine it does, but you wanted to limit this, so I was just curious.

Wow.... This is an amazing concept, may I make some recommendations for future development? Like others have said, the closer you are to Kerbol, the faster it should refuel, based on the square cube law for the most accuracy. And past Eeloo, there would be a constant stream of solar wind, also, will this work with star pack mods? It would be interesting to use various Nerv rockets to constantly accelerate to other stars. And for future sails, one that's basically just a bunch of wires in a cone shape, with a magnetic field, this would be more advanced, and could collect fuel faster. And a 'scram-jet (I dunno)?' Sail that's just a powerful magnetic field, this would be the most advanced, and would be best suited as velocities of say, 50 km/s and higher. Are you planning on adding fusion versions of this? All and all, this is incredible, I might have to get this for orbital depots around other stars. Great job!!
