ooc: Err.. get rid of the CIWS guns, that thing has no counter torpedos, thus a plane could just drop a few torpedos above your sub. Instant kill.

Thanks. I'm on it. I'm going to keep the CIWS, though.

Done. Thanks for the tip.

Bump

ooc: there are underwater launching tubes as well.

Are production rights available? If so, for how much?

Roach-Busters
Sorry, no production rights just yet. Give it a week or so, and I'll put the rights up for sale.

MassPwnage
The counter torpedos come out of the 52-tube missile bays. The bays are located on the side of the silo spine and conning tower, and can be used either surfaced or submerged.

Bump

IS this thing post-modern tech? unless it is, you have to remove that railgun.

Technically, railguns are plausible with today's technology. They just haven't found an efficient enough power source. My sub uses a Cold Fusion reactor. Problem solved.

SENDER: Jose Luiz de Franca Penna, Military Advisor to the PCPB
RECIPIENT: Zeon Daikun Naval Services

BODY: The FPCB is interested in investing significants amounts of
resources into our naval program due to the conflict at home. These
submarines present an opportunity to gain an edge over the aggressors who
would seek our destruction. However, we have a few questions.

Firstly, we wish to know the specifications of the "Cold Fusion" technology
used in this submarine.

On a related question, we wish to know the amount of "noise" that the cold
fusion reactor would create in relation to conventional diesel-electric
engines and nuclear reactors.

Another question about the reactor. Is there any chance of implosion caused
by malfunctions or destrcution of the core, as a nuclear reactor? Are we
risking a very large complication should the integrity of the reactor be
complicit to destruction?

We would like to know the efficiency of such a submarine in coastal and open
-sea operations. And also, on a related note, while this may seem strange,
we would like to know whether or not it could operate in larger rivers, for
example, the Amazon or Nile. If so, we would like to know the requried depth
for optimal operation.

What are the stealth capacities for such a submarine?

As a final question, could we get a size comparison with other submarines so
we can judge accomodation for our sub tenders and docks.

Thank you for receiving and answering these questions. We are hoping to
hear from you as soon as you are able.

Office of the Prime Minister
Keegan Marcus Loyst
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
The Isle of Faleonea

We Realize that you are not 'putting out' the production rights
for several weeks, however, we are interested in purchasing
an advanced copy. We are willing to pay 1.0 Trillion Dollars,
Nearly 1.9 Trillion Globius Credits.

Thank you.

I won't ask you for that much money. I'll reserve a copy for you for $7 Billion.

"Firstly, we wish to know the specifications of the "Cold Fusion" technology
used in this submarine."

I cannot give you too many details. It's still a new technology, but I have refined it quite a bit. I don't want to reveal too many secrets.

"On a related question, we wish to know the amount of "noise" that the cold
fusion reactor would create in relation to conventional diesel-electric
engines and nuclear reactors."

Although the cold fusion reactor is slightly louder than a standard reactor, my design plans have added for three times the insulation around the core and engine than in standard Nuclear submrines.

"Another question about the reactor. Is there any chance of implosion caused
by malfunctions or destrcution of the core, as a nuclear reactor?"

Yes and no. No submarine can be completely guarded against implosion, and the Prometheus is no different. As for implosions caused by the reactor, if it is well-maintained, there is less than 0.5% that fatal damage could occur.

"Are we risking a very large complication should the integrity of the reactor be complicit to destruction?"

You need not worry about the reactor's integrity. Should the reactor begin a meltdown, the engine room crew can seal the doors and activate a safety feature I have created. It floods the core with Liquid Nitrogen, freezing it within seconds of activation. It will require replacement of the core, but the crew and submarine will remain safe. I will replace the core free of charge.

"We would like to know the efficiency of such a submarine in coastal and open -sea operations. And also, on a related note, while this may seem strange, we would like to know whether or not it could operate in larger rivers, for example, the Amazon or Nile. If so, we would like to know the requried depth for optimal operation."

The Prometheus is extremely efficient in open waters, but it requires more depth than many submarines. Were it to be used in a river, such as the Amazon or Nile, it would most likely need to be surfaced. Optimal operating depth is between 50 and 2200 feet.

"What are the stealth capacities for such a submarine?"

The submarine is equipped with state of the art Anerobic Coating, almost nullifying Sonar signature. Silent mode of the submarine would, one would think, lessen the engine sound. Not in this case. The ZD-662 Electrolysis Hydrojet Turbines make nearly no sound at all. The volume of the water is comparative to that of the cooling fan on a computer. It negativley charges incoming water, and then uses a magnetic chamber to expell the water out the thrusters. The only sound comes from the equipment charging the water and magnet.

"As a final question, could we get a size comparison with other submarines so
we can judge accomodation for our sub tenders and docks."

The Prometheus-class is roughly 40 feet longer and 10 feet wider than the modern Ohio-class Nuclear Submarine.

That wraps up today's episode of Q&A: Prometheus

The Republic is extremely interested in purchasing one of these new submarines. Consider the money wired to your account for one of the vessels.

Skinny, I'll throw in another one since we're allies. :D Enjoy!

ooc: yeah it is, but we need new subs for our navy as our old typhoon class are becoming outdated rapidly

oh yeah, any idea when the production rights will be available

I don't know if I want to sell the production rights... I worked hard on that submarine, and I don't want people to buy rights and then sell my own design...

Bump

I would like to order 10 of these submarines. The amount of $47.5 billion will be wired to your account upon delivery.

Nice try Geoff.

I would like to order 10 more of these submarines. The amount of $47.5 billion has been wired to your acount.

More? Okay. It's your choice. Done.

So far, 43 Prometheus-class Subs have been sold. All in all I'd say I'm doing well. Wanna buy one?

TIHere is simply too much stuff on it.... two 20" guns? It's silent speed is far too fast, and cold fusion doesn't exist yet. This is pure futuretech.

Cold Fusion IS possible, two 20" inch cannons, not thirty, and the reason it's silent speed is so fast is because of the propulsion system I use.

This is something I posted in response to a few questions from Communist Brazil. It's all in here:

Cold Fusion IS possible, two 20" inch cannons... [rest snipped]OOC: I beg to differ on cold fusion. Even if it were theoretically possible now, it wouldn't be implemented beyond the scope of what's considered "modern" tech. And I think most scientists would disagree that it is possible now.

Personally, I think there was a reason that submarines no longer carry guns and generally haven't since sometime after World War II. I would also say this is future tech.

Think what you like about Cold Fusion. As far as I'm concerned, those scientists who would disagree can stick it up their bloody arses. And what is the reason that submarines haven't used guns since WWII? They arent hydrodynamic. Problem solved on the Prometheus-class. They retract into hull compartments which are then sealed shut.

OOC: How does it manage to maintain 40 knots? It don't look the least bit streamlined to me. And I also will consider it FT due to the cold fusion...

If it was streamlined, It'd go even faster. The secret behind the Prometheus's high speeds is its Electrolysis Hydrojet Turbines. The ZD-662 Electrolysis Hydrojet Turbines negativley charge incoming water (works best in salt water, because salt is already ionically charged), and then uses a negatively charged magnetic chamber to expell the water out the thrusters at a very high velocity. It's a rather ingenious idea. I got the basic idea from a book I read, and improved upon it for the Prometheus. It is immensely powerful, and not much louder than the cooling fan on the computer.

Well, I consider it Post-MT on the border to FT and will treat it as such, like several of my peers do. Sorry.

No problem. By the way, Is there a difference between Post-Modern Tech and Future Tech? I'm kinda fuzzy on that...
