The propulsion system itself is interesting and is more or less based on actually catabolic effenciency. Proteins and Carbs produce about the same amount of energy per gram, but proteins generate more "pollution", hence why proteins are the lowest available engine. Carbs are plentiful and easily broken down so I made them the most extensive engine available. Fats provide lots of energy per gram so I made them the top of the propulsion tree.

I don't suppose you won't make an "Atkin's Diet" racial trait?

Don't even get me started on the silliness of the Atkins diet and the current low carb craze.

I should be posting an update tomorrow with more of the weapons listed, updates to some of the components, and adding the facilities listing.

If you are short on browsing time, I recommend reading just the features page - that summarizes most of the major ideas incorporated into the mod.

I've updated the technology > weapons page with the remainder of weapons, which more or less has doubled it's size. I didn't realize it at first, but I have almost as many weapon entries as I do component entries.

Next up is an update to facilities. I have the basic ones in place, but I'm still working on generating new ideas for racial facilities and other specialized ones as well.

One item I'm considering modifying is the propulsion system to use mounts to size engines to a ship size, rather than the current pseudeo-newtonian system I have now. The general idea here either way is to ensure each ship size has the relatively same proportion of space dedicated to propulsion. Why do you guys think?
