The USS Saratoga glides quietly along the serene space, a small respite deserving of the battle-scarred vessel fresh from battle with the Chigs. Her crew are weary, but by no means worn out. Their Hammerheads are tuned and ready for use, and all the ship-to-ship batteries are cleaned and ready to fire their shells.

The USS Saratoga glides quietly along the serene space, a small respite deserving of the battle-scarred vessel fresh from battle with the Chigs. Her crew are weary, but by no means worn out. Their Hammerheads are tuned and ready for use, and all the ship-to-ship batteries are cleaned and ready to fire their shells. "SIR! Unknown vessel approching our starbord side. Their configuration seems odd compared to our ship and they have their weapons readied." The crewman at the sensor readout shouted. "Hmmm, seems like we now have someone to fight. Alright, bring us to combat alert alpha. Get everyone at their posts and ready main weapons systems." Steel said. Soon after saying that, alarms went off to get everyone ready for combat and red lights started flashing on the ceiling. "Aye sir, bringing weapon systems online....50mm Autocannons online....Missle pods coming online....MAC Cannon charging and coming online....structural hydralics coming online." The weapons officier shouted to Steel while tapping away at his control station. "Reactors increasing in output, all 6 Reactors are now running, and increasing in output steadily. Output increased to 150% and rising." The crewman at the engineering station called out. Steel moved round and stood behind the translucent screen which was behind the helm of the ship. The screen showed most of what the crewmen at the sensor stations could see, and it clearly showed the enemy Vessel. "Lets give them a warm welcome. Bring us about, hard to starbord, I want to see what they do first." Steel ordered the helm. "Coming around hard to starbord, engines increasing in output to 70% total thrust." The helmsmen replied.

The USS Saratoga kept a good distance away from the unknown vessel, the crews in breathless anticipation. From the engine rooms, reports came to the bridge that the reactor was steady, and power should keep flowing to the entire ship, including the numerous Invetro cloning tank storage facilities where thousands of test-tube humans 'slept' peacefully.
The captain looked around the bridge before opening the ship coms:Hammerhead crews on standby, get ready to scramble. EDIT: <OOC: Just incase you aren't familiar with the John F. Kennedy-class.>

Lock onto the saratoga with it and fire on my command." Steel said. "Aye sir, MAC coils charging up, depleted uranium shells entering cannon. 3 Shot burst will be ready in 10...9, 8, 7..." The tectical crewman shouted. "Ok, helm, increase speed to 85% and go hard to port on my mark." Steel ordered. "Aye sir" the helms replied. "3..2..1, MAC Cannon fully charged." The tacitcal officer shouted. "Ok, everyone get ready!" Steel said as he pressed a few keys into the control panel infront of the translucent display. The MAC Cannon hummed into life in it's location on the Zeus's ventral section.

<OOC: Now this is interesting. Been going through that site myself to refresh my memories of such a good show, and found this: "Helium-3 (He3) Isotope of Helium used in controlled fusion along with Deuterium to create power and propulsion in military craft. Fusion with Helium-3 and Deuterium does not produce free neutrons like other means of fusion, and is thus safer and more economical in shielding. He3+D -> He4+p+18.3MeV He3 occurs as 1.3 parts per million of naturally occuring Helium, leading to the creation of Jovian fuel station and other facilities 'mining' and filtering Helium." Look familiar at all? Struck a bell with me, all right. Did some quick looking around for the Minovsky Ionesco Reactor: " Dr. Y.T.Minovsky founded The Minovksy Physics Society during UC 0047 on Side 3. Its primary purpose was to develop a clean fusion reactor. Primarily fusion reactors of the time would emit neutrons as there fuels fused. Neutrons could only be stopped with many feet of concrete making portable fusion reactors impossible. The Minovsky Ionesco reactor built by the Minovsky Physics Society was a clean reactor only emitting protons that were easily stopped by a magnetic field. The reactor used rare Helium 3 and Deuterium as its fuels. When the 2 isotopes were fused they formed regular Helium. The only drawback to this fusion reactor was Helium 3 was hard to come by..." Mmmm hmm, mmm hmm.... Talk about identicle. As a little info for the non-science sort in here, Deuterium is 2H, or one of the naturally-occuring isotopes of Hydrogen. It has a neutron, basically, instead of just a proton in the nucleus. Since it's called Deuterium, its atomic symbol is D, and it really only has a special name because it's Hydrogen (I mean, you don't see 235U and 237U (uranium, weapons-grade and most-common fuel-grade) having special names, or any other isotope.) Arguably, I can claim the USS Saratoga has an I-Field. > McQueen: "Looks like they're getting ready..." Hits the coms. "Five-Eight, you are cleared to launch. God speed." In the hangars, canopies close as the hydralic floor locks release. The cockpits glide down easily on their cables, fitting into the main fusalage of the Hammerheads. From outside the ship, a blue glow is seen exiting from the undersides, the engines making short trails behind. Hitting formation, the Wildcards bank about and start towards the enemy vessel.Wang: "So what do you think? We already have the Chigs on one side. What should we call these ones? Grasshoppers?" West: "Hah. Let's stick to the battle, Joker, this ain't no squadron of boxes."

West: "Hah. Let's stick to the battle, Joker, this ain't no squadron of boxes." OOC: LOL! IC: "Captain! Enemy combat craft approching at high speed." The tactical officer shouted. "Ok, fire the autocannons!" The 50mm Autoncannons open up on the small hammerheads, and the Autoncannons have superb accuracy and easily lay a volley of fire on the small combat craft thanks to the onboard AI. "We are hitting them hard sir, awaiting premission to fire the cannon." The Tactical officer said. "Ok, fire the MAC Cannon.....now!" Steel shouted. The tactical officer pressed a few buttons and then, the MAC Cannon sent 3 rounds which will surely hit their target and blow big holes in the enemy vessel. Each round fired with a few seconds in between before the next round fired. The first round would punch through the enemy ship's armour, then the second round would smash through a good number of decks before detonating and the third would blow out through the other side. The targetted area was the section just below the bridge....

Bridge: McQueen: "Looks like they're serious. Evasive maneuvers!"
The Saratoga banked right as the massive shots were fired. The first flew close enough to the upper decks to scar the outer plating, the second flying marmlessly by, and the third nearly rolled into, making a mark on the main body. Damage crews onboard were already at the sites of scouring, rapidly extinguishing fires.
McQueen: "Let 'em have it!"
The forward laser pulse cannons opened up on the enemy, gunners aiming for cracks in and areas of lighter armor. The main gun roared into action as well, firing its large megawatt pulse towards the bridge.
Hammerheads: Wang: "Huh, and here I was expecting some tea from them. Talk about rude."
The light, maneuverable fighters weaved easily through the fire, keeping in as best formation as they could under the situation.
Hawkes: "We aren't going to get too close like this."
Vansen: "Roger that, keep with me."
The wing banked off the attack run towards the rear of the vessel, slowly getting out of target of several of the guns. Coming back around with only minimal distractions, a run on the rear was made.
Vansen: "Missiles away."
Each Hammerhead launched one missile towards the engines, and a second along the side plating. As they passed across the surface at close range, pulse cannons were applied liberally.

Because the UK has the shittiest education ever, I cannot continue this as I do not have enough knowledge on physics.
FUCKING BRITISH ATHORITIES Are PISS-HEADS!!!

The Saratoga glides along silently once again, the crew resting for inevitable hostile contact.

<OOC: No, I pretty much confused him beyond all end with rocket propulsion and inertia physics. I had learned most of that when I was twelve...> Actually, I did a little research, and it turns out, the move I did would be 100% possible. You see, you claimed that it would require a very very big force to change the direction via thrusters on the nose for instance. Welll, the fact is, it would not.

Same deal here man.
But anyway. You're wrong about a little thing called "inertia", Steel. The more massive something is and the faster it's moving, the more force it takes to stop and redirect it.

I know about that. But the way Manae was talking, made it sound like the original Gundam would need 10 times the power it has to move and stop.
Therefore, I beleive I was right. Also, as a little note, there is no such thing as continues acceleration when thrustring or boosting and the likes.
