Does anyone have a design for an Orion drive ship?
Some of the basics I have figured out so far;
The pusher plate must be armored to at least 22 to survive unlimited close proximity nuclear blasts.
Generators placed in the pusher plate shock absorbers will be great for power generation.
The bomb gun will make a servicable weapon, fire two bomb pellets, igniting the second to propel the first at the target directly behind the ship.
A heavier ship should allow for a higher thrust by firing more bomb pellets closer together.
