[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cubic Centimeter: [qb]Besides, the ~2 GW figure is based on the number of emitter segments in the Galaxy's upper array, while more recent advances may have made it possible to pack more segments together in a given space.[/qb][/QUOTE] No, the 2GW figure is based on the upper and lower array. The upper array consists of 200 segments for a total of 1.05GW. The lower array is quite a bit shorter than the upper array, so it's less. ~2GW is a generous estimate. I doubt they'd shrink the current size of emitters, that'd be rather silly, but it might be what the Type-XII is. If anything, they can simply uprate the capacity or improve the design of the existing prefire chambers in the Type-X. That way, you'd just slot out the emitter segments for the newer ones on your next major layover, rather than having to worry about structural issues which might arise from switching between different emitter sizes.
