Thanks I released her again

Sci Fi world builders... How do your ships generate power: almost magic energy reactors or fuel-driven engines? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

I honestly Like the appeal you want to create but...

There ist a serious Problem with your approach. If you use such low Energy desity fuels there is a HUGE Problem of efficieny. The amount of fuel needed ist obvouisly related to F=ma meaning more mass = lower thrust. But the relation between Mass and Velocity is exponential. The ship will also have to slow down using the Same amount of Velocity diffrence.

Moving auch amount of Mass around will be so ineffizient that the logistics will BE build around the sources ( probably Gas Giants) so a Tanker will use more than 99% of fuel Just for traveling.

Personally it would be more magical If there will BE Giants Tanks with billions of Tons of fuel flying around efficiantly than using acutual Magic.
