I wanted to have a go at building a somewhat detailed, antimatter powered Warp Drive / Starship Engine. Far as I know, it's quite possibly the first one powered by antimatter. Please enjoy and perhaps give feedback. Copy with Credit.

In essence, this version was designed to specifically utilise the energy produced by the antimatter, hence the CRAY emitters, as I wanted to design it to stop running when the reactor is deactivated. Could alternatively add a pressure pump at the mouth, but it would be kind of meh, I think, if I did so.
-
Yeah, I suppose so. Might actually look nicer too, honestly. When I have a moment, I'll have a go at trying to make the necessary adjustments to it.
-
Pipes feeding deuterium in the mouth of the warp drive would create pressure and make it a bit more realistic. Its still very good on its own, but i think it would make more sense if the engine created pressure.

@BenGBox you clearly don't understand that the reactor will breach without indestructible elements
-
I have applied the internal mechanism updates. I'm not reducing the PCLN down any further due to the aforementioned potential reactor breaches.
-
The primary issue is that if I get rid of too much PCLN, the reactor will have a higher likelihood of getting breached, or the PSCN-NSCN panels will get damaged and cause an infinite spark loop to be generated.

It's one of the things I'm including in the update to the drive, @BenGBox
-
minimize the amout of pcln cause your using it as a wall for the antimatter.

I'll most likely update the internal mechanisms for this warp drive at some point tomorrow if I remember. I've been tinkering with the Drive a little bit.
