OK another design vs. function debate. You designers have no respect for engineers who actually have to build your wild machinations. 1) If you've added Windows, you're sure to ensure this ship never flies. It'll crash and burn upon first engine ignition. I'd use Linux as the OS if I were you. ;-) 2) So you've gone with the cobalt hyperdrive. Yeah, ok, its powerful, but its also incredibly inefficient! It requires 62% of its thrusting power just to reach EV. I would've gone for a Quantum Singularity reactor in a tri-Duranium tetra-adamantium core. Its almost as powerful but has 6 times the thrust to weight ratio that your hotrod cobalts do. Furthermore, it'll fit in your existing design. No need to change your engine config. Although, the landing struts will need rethinking. 3) Secret alloy my butt! Every zeno-engineer knows your talking about polyberylium carbide. Those aliens you so fondly speak of, were commisioned by the joint alliance of the Capital Republican Alliance for Peace (CRAP) and Society for Cosmic Relations of Alien Peoples (SCRAP) to develop that alloy. And they charged a hefty price of galactic proportions. I've never been in favour of that Alien make work project. I can't believe how much of our tax dollars are funnelled through CRAP only to be used for SCRAP projects.
