Dark Matter Cloaking Device
The dark matter cloaking device works by having dark matter panels cover (cloak) a unit/structure. That object (while cloaked in outer space) cannot be tracked by radar, infrared, magscan, and cannot be visually seen. During the End Phase of a turn, the player controlling said object equipped with a dark matter cloaking device decides whether or not to have unit/structure cloaked or uncloaked. If uncloaking or cloaking in the End Phase all of that unit's/structure's attacks have a +6 to-hit modifier in addition to all other modifiers in the following turn. While cloaked that unit/structure may not make any attacks. To determine the mass for a dark matter cloaking device simply take the mass of the unit/structure its mounted on and multiply that mass by 1% plus 10% of the total mass of that unit's/structure's mounted weapons. The cost in C-Bills of a dark matter cloaking device equals its mass multiplied by 10,000 C-Bills.
Dual U Fuel Transit Drive
This type of transit drive works by having two combustion chambers that are positioned parallel to the spacecraft's width and perpendicular to its length. Each of the two exhaust nozzles are also positioned parallel to the spacecraft's width and perpendicular to its length. Fuel is pumped into the combustion chambers and out the two exhaust nozzles and each fuel exhuast half travels along a half of the U shaped tunnel until they both collide against the ship's midship bulkhead pushing the spacecraft forwards. The fuel is made up of multitudes of systematic new elements in which each element provides an incremental acceleration when it combusts. The fuel exhausts don't exit the spacecraft and their heat emissions can be cloaked as stated above using dark matter cloaking device. To figure the mass of a dual U fuel transit drive take the percentage multiplier for the ship and add to it 4% before multiplying. For example a standard WarShip transit drive has a multiplier of 6%. 6% plus 4% (U parts added to standard transit drive) equals 10%.
