Gap artwork - "Calm Horizons"

-are YOU going to argue with an Amnion Ship Designer...?

Conformity of direction will be achieved by the mutual satisfaction of main thrusters.

I cannot but stand in awe of anyone who does such fine artwork.

But from a astrophysics standpoint, could the main thrusters really be firing in different directions at the same time?

I'm not much of a physicist, but if they were symmetrical then wouldn't it add up to a forward motion, even if it is a slightly inefficient one?

[Nom vs. Vain]

If it was ineffiecient would it be amnioni?

[The Somberlain]

I don't have the books to hand, but their inefficiency when it came to technology was definitely mentioned more than once - it was why they hadn't risked an all-out war against humanity; like the microbe they used to digest iron ore instead of refining it.

[Sorus]

Hmm... I've always thought that Amnion technology was generally superior, though their refining and building methods were not as efficient. (Quality rather than quantity?)

Yes, that is correct.

[CovenantJr]

Indeed. They could't mass-produce, but the tech was far superior.

[drew]

Cleaner.

Thir method of steel refinery was much cleaner.
It didn't involve melting or burning or smelting or any of that.

[Nom vs. Vain]

I was also always under the impression that the amnion were superior in technology but were far behind on production capabilities. They just couldn't build and manufacture at a rate to compete properly. I would attribute this to their way of thinking, their hive like mentality would suggest that because they all think alike if not as one, they never advanced technologies like interchangable parts, which is one of reasons humans are capable of mass producing where the amnion are not.
