Thanks, those are interesting explainations. Hmm, come to think of it, I don't understand how half the regular technology works, let alone the special racial technologies!
For example, what is a jacketed photon? Actually, I have no idea how any of the engines work, except for the ion engine! I am also unclear on how some of the weapons work, like the wave motion gun. What exactly is coming out of the gun when it is fired?
