[Meta] [RFC] Fenspace 2022, take 2

[robkelk]

Ehm, do you have any clue how much 3 TW is?

It's over 180 times the entire hydroelectric output of all of the dams in the James Bay watershed - the largest power production complex in North America.

Personally, I'd prefer there be less weapons-grade, or near weapons-grade, enriched uranium about...

On a meta level, that's exactly why the Stellvians gathered up all of the easily-available fissionables before IslandCon - to take them out of the picture altogether.

There's nothing stopping anybody from mining for uranium (with the possible exception of Space Patrol oversight), but there isn't any uranium that "just happens" to be sitting around, waiting to be turned into a nuke.

Using a medium S-class AI to reverse engineer a design is unfair

Yeah, yeah... but, honestly, how many S-class AIs are there? (I can only think of one, and she's with the Soviets.)

*sigh* does this mean everyone in Fenspace has hardtech fusion in 2014? This kills parts of my ESA/JAXA story I would say. -.-

We've had the plans. That doesn't mean anybody's been able to actually build one before 2019.
