physicist call

[Taera]

thank you all for your replies, they are helpful.

i didnt get a responce to my question about shapes though. does spherical shape have theoretical positive effects on ship's gravity-field generation?

[Suicide Junkie]

There is no theory behind it.

Whatever looks the coolest and highest-tech will do

I don't know this but it makes sense that planets and stars are close to spherical because gravity isn't a "directional" force, being a curvature of space/time. Most celestial bodies arn't perfect spheres due to other forces. For example the rotation of the earth causing a bulge at the equator.

The way I see it, if you can control gravity, it doesn't really matter what shape your ships or weapons are. Spiral them like a corkscrew. Have them in seperate pieces. Make them inside out. Or all of the above

Nope you need a "SPUD GUN"

[Kamog]

Hey, spud guns are fun. You stick the gun into a potato to load it, and it shoots out the little piece of potato when you fire the gun. But it's just a toy and it does zero damage so it's useless as a weapon.

A spud gun isn't useless as a weapon, you just need a larger mount for it

[dogscoff]

Spud guns? Ha! Gravy guns? For girls!
