Re: [FTFB] Not ships, exactally. . .

<< which is a number I've seen tossed around here, I think.  But keep in
mind
 that in order for the Full Thrust engines to include enough fuel for
one
 ten-turn battle, 0.01 g thrust is the best you can do with current
 technology (for example, chemical rockets do a lot better than this,
but
 you need so much fuel that the rocket is -mostly- fuel, which just
doesn't
 fit in the Full Thrust model).
 
 Someone please check my math, though, I should know better than to not
do
 it on paper first!

I gives some of the same numbers that I came up with, so I think that it
is
corect, what I think that the engines in FT are is reaction plates (I
heard
about this some were but I don't remeber) powered by fusion generators.
