Intergalactic Summit

I would like ask your advice for my research project.

Gallentean ship designs generally include elements from living nature to improve the performance of the ships while one of key elements of cyber knighthood is to improve our living bodies with implants to better serve God. This parallel has been noted in knightmasters' books and it has been suggested that studying Gallente ships might deepen our faith and improve our combat capabilities.

Unfortunately knighmasters haven't search the topic much so there is very limited guidance available for my research. There is a great book about Caldari ships which is written by an engineer of Khanid Innovations. I am going to use it as a model for my research but it does not contain information about Gallente ships nor references to scriptures which I should consult while learning their capabilies.

I would appreciate both religious advice about the volumes of scriptures I should study and technical advice about the ships I should choose for tests.

Actually, the major reason why Gallentean ships often practice a curving aesthetic is a practical one, and it's the exact same one behind the Amarrian approach - a curved armour plate is more likely to present a deflecting angle - and thus a greater effective thickness - to incoming fire rather than a flat plate perpendicular to the shot.

The fact that this produces a look which is pleasing to the aesthetic traditions of those cultures is a happy bonus.

That being said, the internal primary structural components of a Vexor-class do form a helix, like a shell. It's a very efficient load-distributing and impact-absorbing structure.

I happen to be a researcher on the topic. My research & development corporation, Minerva Technologies, currently focuses on Gallente Technology, military ships included. Although I usually charge for my expertise (It's how I currently make my bread), I may be willing to help a fellow scientist in the matter.

However, could you be more specific as to which kind of technical help concerning Gallente designs are you looking for?

Thank you for your insightful posts.

I'm going to start my study from general design philosophy before testing individuals ships.

Gallente ships in general tend to have plenty of firepower compared to their tank. In the marketing material of Myrmidon the stated reason is the hotheadness of Gallente pilots. It is explained in more serious literature as a way to obtain swift victories. Is it also connected to shifting voter preferences and changing governments?

I haven't found an eplanation for the preference of magnetometric sensors and fusion reactors. Are they used in Gallente ships because of historical reasons or are there technical reasons for their popularity?

My thesis will be published so fears or hopes that it could be used against the Federation are not baseless but the popularity of cyber knight literature is rather limited outside Khanid Kingdom.

I dont see the security concern. All the Empires have their ships and blueprints availible for purchase. Im sure everyone knows how to counter each other's ships already.

Some people just enjoy getting fancy with there killing, I guess.

It's worked for me so far. I <3 my Vexor!! But yea the armor is really effective due to its more round design... I'm guessing. That would make sense. Most Mitari or Caldari ships have straight lines in their ship designs, and they're more shield based.

Who flies without backup?

Another very organic design that has not been mentioned yet is that of the new Navitas frigate. The scale-like armor and overall design really resembles a fish-like creature, something that in my opinion matches the common use of the ship. But I'm not sure if that's relevant.

And I endorse the statement that there's no need to worry about security. Ship blueprints are no longer industrial secrets, and if any of us worked at the actual design of those blueprints, they wouldn't be allowed nor willing to disclose anything here.

If you are serious about understanding the incredible technology of the Gallente, I highly suggest contacting Creodron with your research project. Creodron believes that science should not be divided by politics and borders. That the collaborative work between the greatest minds can only be good for the cluster.

If you are truly neutral both in business and politically regarding your research, Creodron might allow you access to their facilities.
