Micro-Shields
Date Released: 10 Oct. 3325.
Weight: 200 Kg.
|
| What is it? Micro- Shields are miniature versions of normal
shield units that are fitted to the casing of any Class 3 Military Drive,
but weigh less than 1t. The Output is the same as the bigger units, but
five Micro-shields is all your limited to and ships which can't use a Class
3 Military drive won't be able to use Micro-Shields.. |
| The Benefits: Well it means more space on ships which can use
Class 3 Military Drives, that's all really. |
| How to use it: You don't actually use it as such, you get the
Micro-Shields fitted at your local shipyards and then they just generate
the shield all the time. Bit like normal shields. |
| Note from Bridger Astronautics 9 May 3330: The Micro-Shields
have been found to be unstable and on several occasions have damaged or
destroy ships carrying them, the Micro-Shields have now been taken off
the common market. |
Warp Effector.
Date Released: 19 Aug 3331.
Weight: 5t.
|
| What is it? This is a device that creates a Warp field around
the ship when it's in space and allows the ship to fly as if there was
an atmosphere. |
| The Benefits: This device means that you can turn on a photon
in space, which means more manoeuvrability in combat, and the ability to
stop and start in a matter of seconds rather than days. |
| How to use it: The device just has to be fitted at your local
shipyard, then when your in space it automatically activates. |
| Note from Bridger Astronautics: The Warp Effector is not available
on the common market, you will be able to get it three ways. By getting
the highest rank in the Empire, without having any rank with any other
Military power and also having the highest Elite rating. Completing the
Storm Shadow Missions, and completing a mission for Bridger Astronautics.
Those are the three ways to get a Warp Effector. |
Military Energy Booster.
Date Released: 19 Aug 3331.
Weight: 2t.
|
| What is it? The Military Energy Booster is half the size of
a normal Energy Booster and has the same output as one. |
| The Benefits: It means more space on the ship, or if you fit
it with a normal Energy Booster the output is doubled. |
| How to use it: Just fit it and it'll start working immediately. |
| Note from Bridger Astronautics: The Energy Booster is not available
on the common market, and there is no way to obtain it legally. |
Cloaking Device.
Date Released: 19 Aug 3331.
Weight: 3t.
|
| What is it? This is an improved version of the old Cloaking
Device, draining the ship's energy banks 30% less than the old one. |
| The Benefits: If you're being attacked you can switch the cloaking
device on and then you have the element of surprise on your side, it also
helps with pirating as nobody will know it was you (including the Elite
Federation of pilots). |
| How to use it: When you want to cloak just press the "X" key,
then either wait for it to cut out or press the "X" key again to de-cloak. |
| Note from Bridger Astronautics: The Cloaking Device is not available
on the common market, and there is no way to obtain it legally. |
Cold Fusion Core.
Date Released: 19 Aug 3331.
Weight: 0t (part of the ship itself)
|
| What is it? The Cold Fusion core is a ship power core that uses
Cold Fusion power rather than conventional Nuclear Fusion power. |
| The Benefits: Cold Fusion is a completely unused power source,
discovered by two scientists in March 1989. At first it was welcomed but
within a month the scientists had been discredited and their process of
creating Cold Fusion was said to be impure and that it was shear fluke
that anything happened, some people said at that time that it was the oil
companies that created the cover-up for fear of a market crash and them
losing money. Whatever the reason Cold Fusion has not been used, but now
Bridger Astronautics are producing Cold Fusion cores for the benefit of
mankind. Why is it a good thing, because Cold Fusion is a limitless power
source and it is clean, the only waste is 1t of precious metals a month.
It also means that you no longer need to use conventional fuel as your
drives are converted to take the Cold Fusion power, and there is no power
drainage. |
| How to use it: Just get it fitted and you're away. |
| Note from Peter: Cold Fusion is not science fiction it is science
fact, just search for Cold Fusion on the Internet to see I'm not lying. |
EMP Shielding.
Date Released: 22 September 3313.
Weight: 3t per unit.
|
| What is it? This was designed by Bridger Astronautics to counter
the effect of their EMP Cannons. |
| The Benefits: It means that your ship will be protected from
a burst of EMP Radiation, be warned though that one unit can only take
one burst of the EMP Cannon and then it has to recharge for 5 minutes. |
| How to Use it: It’s basically like normal shield units, just
get it fitted and it powers up. |
