ADDRESSEE: O'Rhu High Command SENDER: Alexander Lafferentz SUBJECT: Project for improvement of propulsion systems of O'Rhu vessels.
CONTENT: Good afternoon Gentlemen
I just have finished asserting the situation concerning the propulsion matter. I'll get straight to the point:
Firstly, we're going to have problems due to the limited infrastructure on Thabit. (which means available workforce, space, tools) It will only allow me to project and assemble just few prototypes of smaller size, suited for fighter chassis vessels to be exact. ( mass production of successful ones is not an option with this state of affairs) ... Even with suggested number of personnel to be assigned to the project. Chief engineer would like to highlight the matter of possible delays in maintenance and repairs of our vessels that may occur.
Secondly, the propulsion itself: Situation is not as bad as I anticipated. General schematics of the engines are indeed a couple of years old, but were definitely ahead of it's time when were made. Nowadays they are just ... average to be fair. I can see some areas where improvements are possible (if, of course, we want to stop on improvements). In my opinion, we should try to assemble something new of our own.
Thirdly, I would like to take a pick of what the the others have to offer. I am not talking about cheap, massively sold civilian designs, I want to examine stuff the military has exclusive. The more, the better.(cheap black market copies count out too) It is pointless to brake down an open door, if we can ... extract the solutions that would suit our needs, why not to use them? This way we could speed up the project for sure.
And of course ... we will need parts, lots of them...
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION: I know someone whose skills could be as helpful as mine. Fabian Vogel. We used to work together in a team a long time ago at the Alster. My sources indicate that he still works for the Republican, but most likely is not using his real name... or is not permitted to do so.
