Fan Designs and Rules / Re: "Metal fountain" extreme performance dropship cooling system
« Last post by Sir Chaos on Today at 08:56:04 »The problem is, exposed to the vacumn space does not let those debris to reduce its heat. Only the radiation works on the space since there is almost no medium to transfer the heat, but for this you don't need to throw away those little debris in the first place and you could do better such as shoot the lasers instead. Add the big heat sink plate on the surface would serves the similar purpose too.
To the contrary... I think it´s a viable system. Radiating heat only happens on the surface, naturally enough, and lots and lots of tiny droplets have more surface per mass than larger objects of the same combined mass.
The main limitation I see that this would only work as designed in a vacuum and zero-g environment, not in an atmosphere, let alone while landed.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Mercenaries Kickstarter Discussion 6: the 1st 3rd Star League conversation
« Last post by klarg1 on Today at 07:49:46 »My read on the update was very much:
“Here is a list of things we’ve found and fixed. Here are the results people will (future tense) see. Here’s some background and support information.”
That suggests that numbers should be converging on “correct”, but very much reads as a process in motion to me.
The promised timeline is getting short so I’d expect more information soon, but I am not seeing an all clear so far.

Aerospace Combat / Re: Coventional Fighter with Fusion - Why Fuel?
« Last post by PuppyLikesLaserPointers on Today at 07:49:19 »It needs the fuel because it spout the jet to fly. So do LAM in fighter mode because it fly like as an ASF. It is no like the jump jet of the ground vehicle.

MegaMek Games / Re: Coming Soon to MegaMek
« Last post by BATTLEMASTER on Today at 07:23:44 »I feel like MekHQ can work itself into an interstellar strategy and combat game like the MekWars servers, but with a ton more detail like sending soldiers to school and maintenance checks.

Aerospace Combat / Coventional Fighter with Fusion - Why Fuel?
« Last post by V13w3r on Today at 06:55:04 »Hello
I have just arrive to the Inner Sphere and as i was looking to the conventional fighters with Fusion engines at my militia base i realize that they need Fuel... Why?
We have very powerful electric engines and compressors as well as high bypass or even Scramjets. We fly in a compressible fluid and got a electric & heat generator aboard this machines why do they need fuel if not for Postcombustor for the extra push or to climb to the limit and see the space
PS: i suppose it's do the game mechanics but if I'm wrong please tell me (Do LAM needs fuel once in atmo?)
