New Propulsion System on Monorails

[Master Yoda]

Ya had to go there...ya had to go and bring Ice Pirates into it....

I had a sneaking suspicion that you would get that one.:lol:

 

[Tim G]

I asked a CM about it (not sure if managment or not...) and was told that monorail purple was having a new propulsion system installed.

Yep! He was right...

They're going to install the new IHDS (*) into them...













(*) Ionic Hyper Drive system

[unkadug]

Nope, I heard it was much simpler...

 

[Huck]

They can do it less than 12 parsecs.

Isn't a parsec a unit of distance?:lookaroun

 

[Ailtara]

Isn't a parsec a unit of distance?:lookaroun

Yes, but you can skim off a bit of the distance by flying closer to black holes.

 

[mayoki]

I heard that Monorail Purple will actually fold space to instantly move from station to station.

 

[jt04]

Perhaps they intend to go a bit retro

 

[hillernj]

ludicrous speed

What's the propultion on the other Monorails? A Cuisinart?

 

[Captain Hank]

I'd heard that, as an energy-saving measure, they were moving towards a hybrid system:

Cool thanks for the info!

Yes, a parsec is a unit of distance and not time or speed as Mr Solo eluded to. The Kessel run is traditionally an 18 parsec route used by spice smugglers. Solo claimed he was able to cut this distance to 12 parsecs by traveling extremely close to the Maw black hole cluster thus making the trip in a much shorter time.

Am I the only one that doesnt notice what color Monorails are out and about? :lol:

Marry me.

Marry me.

Can I check with my current wife and get back to you?

Removing the seats and installing treadmills and stationary bikes?

What's the matter colonel Sanders? Chicken?

 

[spoodles]

I heard they're going with a Turbo Encabulator based propulsion system:

[rhine_paul]

Im guessing its the Saturn V's Rocketdyne F-1 and J-2 engines with retro motors to keep it stable on track. Must have gotten a discount on RP-1, LH2, and LOX.

So not only will you be able to get to you destination within a fraction of time, but with a little pitch and yaw attitude control, you can go to the moon!

 

[Buried20KLeague]

So I'm looking at the News and Rumors thread list, and see that there are 35 replies under a thread asking about the possibility of a new propulsion being tested on purple.

"Wow, that's a lot! Maybe there's something to this and they're testing something new!" I say.

I click the link.

And at that moment I began becoming infected with nerd germs.

:lol::lol:

Pretty funny stuff though.

 

[mpaul32001]

Maybe we'll finally be able to make it past Warp 9.9!

 

[dandaman]

Yeah, but how fast will they make the Kessel run?

Is it wrong that I've never seen Star Wars yet still knew the answer?
