<p>Chris: /Spelling</p> <hr /> <div>There are two known ways to provide artificial gravity: centrifugal and accelarative.<br /> <br /> = Centrifugal =<br /> Centrifugal artificial gravity takes advantage of apparent acceleration due to centrifugal force. Suitable for [[space station]]s and large [[spaceship]]s, it creates gravity by rotating a cylinder containing habitats. Apparent &quot;down&quot; of a centrifugal system will always point away from the axis of rotation.<br /> <br /> = Accelerative =<br /> Accelerative artificial gravity takes advantage of the [[burn]] of a ship's [[Main Propulsion|main engine]] to provide apparent gravity for [[:Category:Ships|ship]] inhabitants. &quot;Down&quot; will always point towards the engine providing thrust, encouraging ships to be laid out in a so-called &quot;skyscraper&quot; format where the lower floors are near the engine(s) and the upper floors are further away.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Codex]]</div>

<p>Chris: Grammar improvement pass</p> <hr /> <div>====== Disposable Nanodrone System ======<br /> <br /> The latest breakthrough in remotely controlled spacecraft technology consists of palm-sized disposable spacecraft remotely powered by a ship's on-board laser array. The nanodrone system consists of remote laser array, control computer and a nanodrone assembly plant. <br /> <br /> The assembly plant is capable of rapidly assembling hundreds of tiny spacecraft from on-board component storage. Drones can be outfitted for on-the-fly repairs, ore haulage and other purposes.<br /> <br /> Each drone contains a solid block of aluminium propellant that's vaporized by directed laser heat to provide thrust, using an array of mirrors to control thrust vectoring. Drones are expected to perform their role in less than a minute and are considered disposable after launch.<br /> <br /> Drone assembly plants occupy a [[hardpoint]] and require onboard companion [[nanodrone storage]] to function.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Codex]]</div>
