Logg

Logg is a huge luxury yatch made by Plasmatic, and a favourite among millionaires. As principal visual characteristic, most of its hull is covered in an aerodynamic layer of painted Dakkor to improve resistance to atmospheric travels and aerodynamics in general, making it a bit more challenging to generate enough lift to go higher in altitude, but even though, the speed is better than the previous models of the company.   There are two versions of this model, the L15 and L22. The Logg L15 is a faster variant, being 130% the speed of the L22, which is designed thinking about cargo capacity, long range travels or big parties. The Logg L22 version comes with an extra of 220 m3 of space and the possibility of making journeys twice as long without refueling.

Power Generation

The ship has an integrated transformer, who takes some kinetic energy from the motor and transforms it into electrical charge. If all the electric needs are reached, the system changes into charge mode, as it starts charging the main battery of the ship.   Also, in case of emergency, the ship has a secondary battery system in the cargo bay.

Propulsion

This ship introduced Plasmatic to the Burmenium powered engines market. This prototype works with two different materials that are stored into inert cylinders, but then injected into a highly pressurized compartment that allows a reaction to be made, creating a violent but controlled explosion in the rear engine. The used materials are Burmenium and Underium, two dusty materials that mixed correctly, can generate a very powerful reaction.   The rest of the engines are electric powered, creating a little but useful thrust system, and allowing the pilots to maneuver precisely in closed spaces.

Weapons & Armament

Even though it is a civilian ship, thieves are always watching for possible targets, and the bigger the ship, the bigger the gun it needs. It has an upside-down turret just in front of the landing gears. Its a K1R4 (Kira) laser gun, with 180º of tridimensional firing angle. Also, both versions are equipped with a basic plasma shield, being powered by the secondary battery.   This is an excessive number of guns, even in a big ship as this one is, but the galaxy is packed with bad guys, always trying to steal something to the rich boys.

Price
Around 6000 Corenses.
Rarity
Really rare, but common among fanatics.
Beam
37 meters
Length
127 meters
Height
28 meters
Complement / Crew
It needs two pilots and a gunner, being this one optional, as one pilot can change position to control the upside-down Kira turret.
Cargo & Passenger Capacity
Even two hundred people can be hosted in both versions if stationary and fully deployed interiors, less if cargo is on board or while traveling.

A very quick, informative article. I'm not very much into machinery or science fiction, thus why I feel you did a good job explaining since I didn't have to run to a search engine to comprehend terms. I really like how you did the header image as if it was an advertisement.

Thanks man, appreciate it ^^

You're quite welcome.

This was an interesting read. I like the concept, and the cover image certainly appeals. However, I'd recommend possibly giving the variants a different designation than A and B, as it doesn't read very well. As well as that, possibly consider either using tooltips or the @ system of linking to other articles so people can look at what they don't really understand in this. For instance, the price of 6000 Corenses. I don't know what the equivalency of that is in today's world, and being able to read up on that would be helpful, which is where the @ system comes in. Overall, good content, it just needs tweaking. Good work!

Yeah, I need some time before starting to link articles between each other, but that's still WIP. Thanks for the comment ^^

Hey! I liked how you wrote about power generation and propulsion in a way that was just easy enough to understand the vague basics, but scientific and mysterious enough for the sci-fi-flair. Something is missing though: Why does the ship have weapons and a plasma shield? What do the rich bois want to to attack, and what do they want to defend against?

Jul 17, 2018 13:47

Thanks for the comment ^^ That's a good question really. I think I have to specify a bit more in things like that. Basically, the gun and shield are pretty much for self-defense against thieves.

I like the changes that you made regarding this. ^^

Thanks for checking back dude ^^ I love to have some feedback from veterans like you

xD I am not a veteran at all. I started on WA yesterday.

Omg dude, like, you sound really as a veteran in you works. Keep the good work goin' ^^
