[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] [i]When[/i] the SIF and IDF are operating, yes. Which I don't expect whilst the vessel is still being welded together. The warp coils are made in microgravity furnaces in orbit, so the alloys are perfectly blended and not stratified at all. They're the most massive parts of the ship. Why make them off the surface, land them, assemble the engine, attach them to the ship, and then use the impulse engines and thrusters (and probably tugs) to lift them back off the surface? (And warp drive is non-Newtonian. You could cross the galaxy at a standstill, relatively speaking. ;) ) --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
