{{#if:{{{4|}}}|<br />|<div style="border:1px dotted #666666; padding:0.5em; font-family:Verdana,sans-serif; margin: 1em 1em 1em 3em;">'''MST Development Log #5'''<br> I have . . . bits of news. <br> Firstly, Starfleet transporter chiefs everywhere will be happy to know that a small team on the USS Invicta has cracked that maximum transport distance of a ship's transporters by an extra 20,000 kilometres - due to logical stupidity, Loupaz and I were able to boost a transport across 80,000 kilometres, successfully transporting the mass of a type eleven shuttlecraft plus one biologically average human occupant in simulation. That report has been marked under the folder "irrelevant data". <br> Secondly, and more relevant, we have begun work on the ''actual'' transporter we should have looked at in the first place. Turns out I should have spent more time researching and such because I completely missed the transport theories by Scott. You have no idea how dumb I feel, but what's done is done and I'm sure the previous experiment will prove useful later on in some capacity. Relativistic physics for the win, I guess. <br>I don't know why Starfleet doesn't use this technology themselves anyway. It's already been built - you could literally beam things between Earth and Mars without any hassle. The only problem would be the cargo transport industry frowning at it - which makes no sense since they don't actually make anything from their business anyway. Artist, the Federation is strange. <br>Anyway, so obviously we were able to beam something as simple as the Jalana between Earth and Mars with very few hassles, aside from having to readjust some figures to account for the shuttle's mass. We can't do this with people yet - the pattern breaks up - and we'll tackle that problem later, but we're again faced with the "distance" thing. We have a lot more wiggle room thanks to subspace. And I think I can double, if not triple that. <br>A communications system works on a two-way basis. One end can place a call and let that ring out, but until the other end actually takes it, nothing happens. The send and receive concept - basically been a thing for thousands of years back home. Transporters don't usually run on this idea, mainly because - since they're usually placed on ships that are constantly on the move - there isn't a base of which to receive them when beaming officers down to foreign worlds. I mean, you can't just ask them to build a receiver - they might not even have the technology to do so. With that, the transporter might as well be a grappling hook; it goes both ways, but the base is at the top and not the bottom. <br> So basically I'm going to build a second transporter, make the two lock on a signal between them and see how far I can pull them apart before that signal breaks whatever pattern is being sent between them. Mars gets to be my receiver. I'll send something from Venus.{{#if:{{{2|}}}|<div style='margin-top:.5em'>{{{2}}}</div>}}{{#if:{{{3|}}}|<div style='margin-top:.5em'>{{{3}}}</div>}} ''</div>}} | |||
