• Welcome to the new COTI server. We've moved the Citizens to a new server. Please let us know in the COTI Website issue forum if you find any problems.
  • We, the systems administration staff, apologize for this unexpected outage of the boards. We have resolved the root cause of the problem and there should be no further disruptions.

Secret weapon projects.

Ahem . . .Need we bring up the specter of cyber-zombies once more. Imagine legions of the undead powered by Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators commanded by an out of control AI.

How about the Quantum Tunneling Drive. The prototype was built but who knows what will happen if you switch it on?
 
Infantry weapons/items
25MM seeking micromissiles, track around corners or through trenches.
1CM thick 15CM dia disks W/ sensors and mini grav drive for remote scouting.

Starship weapons/items
Jump field disrupter-Prohibits the successful deployment of a jumpfield until repairs are made.
Singing missiles-draw attention of all missile defense systems away from the ship killer missiles.

The nightmare frisbee. Use a small 6in dia 1in thick disk with a micro grav drive, a seeker to slot it through small openings, and fill it with a thermobaric powder. Throw it like a frisbee toward an enemy strongpoint. It will penetrate any slot they could fire out of. The spin will distribute the thermobaric explosives quite nicely in the confined area. A trooper should be able to carry a dozen of them. They could be target programmed with the troopers helmet electronics.

WRT tractor beams, has anyone else tried using standard gravity drive tech to create tractors?

If a grav drive can be manipulated to point in whatever direction necessary, wouldn't it make sense that similarly, a drive could be focused on a small area?

IMTU, tractors use specialized emitters to manipulate grav fields in just such a manner. I even allow my players to use their drive like a grav vacuum when there is no grav well for the drive to work against.

How about grav-rail guns? How fast could you make it go at 20G?

An "anti-drive" missile - the missile carries a "warhead" that is essentially a m-drive. It targets the front of the ship (by vector) and engages a momentary 6G drive field. Should be like running into a brick wall.

Phase conjugate mirrors:

Small ones already exist in the lab. Basically they reflect photons exactly back to source. They can be given more energy in the transfer.

So anti-laser armour that makes the attacking laser destroy itself, and an ultimate laser blinder.
