DemonxFair enough I guess. I'll get to posting in a bit. I've got to start cooking for when my husband gets home.

Bio
I'm an adult (most of the time) so I enjoy mature content and good stories. Most of the time you'll find me in some Sci Fi thing or another but I do sometimes end up in fantasy roleplays and ,in very rare occasions, slice of life stuff. I've dabbled in other sections of the GUild over the years but Casual Sci Fi seems to be my comfort zone. I'm probably the least intimidating person you'll ever meet and I'm always open to suggestions. I look forward to making some great stories with you all!

A VASIMR engine would be better anyway since we can throttle the engine by adjusting the flow on the fuel pumps. That way we don't spend months in cryogenic suspension waiting to get anywere.
I don't mind. Also, we have anti-gravity technology but we still use liquid fuel rocket engines? lol
The engineer in my head keeps nagging at me sorry. I was just thinking, if we have the tech to replicate gravitational forces and fusion reactors couldn't we implement that into a launch system? The thing about Ion Propulsion is that it has high specific impulse but extremely low thrust so we would be sitting in cryogenic sleep for years before we got anywhere significant XD.
Yup VASIMR engines ionize hydrogen or sometimes helium and push it through a magnetic field that confines it into a jet creating thrust. It has generates plenty of thrust and retains a decent specific impulse which translates to more DeltaV than we will ever need and since both fuel sources are extremely abundant in space we would die of old age before we ran out of fuel.
I don't know. I try my best not to be nitpicky but I do like to keep in the realm of plausibility because it means I can use my own knowledge as a reference so I don't have to make up entire theoretical systems on the fly.

Mind if I just call them a Biologist.
Biology is the study life and living organisms on earth and Xeno-Biology is the study of life and living organisms anywhere but earth hence the 'Xeno' which means alien so it's not technically correct but honestly it's all semantics anyway so who cares... XD
That sounds like xeno-biology to me. So he would be a Xeno-Biologist.
Isn't ion propulsion extremely inefficient for a manned vessel? Since this is closer to present day I was going to suggest a VASIMR style engine since that would work better with a cold-fusion reactor to generate power.
I've put some basic stuff down for the pilot. Before we go too much further can we do some world building first? The picture of the Serenity in the OOC made me think that this would be a lot further in the future.
Are we still using liquid fuel rockets and convetional launch systems? You make it sound like we're in a Discovery-like shuttle from Nasa.

Name: Valerie "Val" O'Hara
Age: 25
Height/weight: 5'2"/115 lbs.
Appearance:
Naturally red hair, deep green eyes, and pale skin. Hair reaches half way down her back when let down. Her body is littered with various scars from working in tight spaces.
Personality: Stubborn and hot tempered. Skilled with machines not so much with people. She has a reputation for being difficult to deal with and a few of her co-workers have even gotten transfers just to get away from her. She is incredibly blunt and doesn't pull punches for the sake of someone's ego.

It ultimately depends on you since you're the GM.
That's not really a balance is it? If he's going to be so enormously powerful he needs to have a consequence that's equally as dangerous to him. Otherwise who really cares if some random faceless person get's hurt at his expense?
