Powerplant

It seems to me that the engine type should be a hybrid of rocket and jet engine. Rockets use a mix of two internal fuels, an actual propellant and an oxidizer. It appears maybe, to save fuel the Vipers' powerplants have intakes to grab oxidizer from the atmosphere when necessary. What's everyone else's opinion? - Panther 20:59, 17 August 2006 (CDT)

Well one of the Goals of the series is to not really worry about how the ships run. --The Merovingian (C - E) 21:05, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
No shit, eh? ;) Still one of the joys of being a sci-fi fan is to speculate on the tech. I gotta wonder though are those fans on the sides inside the engine nacelles intake fans? That would make it a jet. :D Panther 03:35, 18 August 2006 (CDT)
