It's going from a stable low-Earth orbital velocity around 7.8 km/sec and the atmosphere of the Earth is doing most of that work. Here is the erroneius assumption you made and it shorts out the entire problem, your 4.5G descent which the Soyuz makes is due to the decelleration of the vehicle.

I just had to watch the intro again, and its blazing red hot fire everywhere, it should be just about enough to give you the final push for deaths sweet embrace. doesnt matter.įire is fire, and you are in a confined space, something is feeding that fire oxygen and that heat with nowhere to go will just increase. Say the character has his scuba gear on and can breathe clean air. Pass out from Pulling too many Gs or getting struck by a metallic lid, that doesnt matter. (with the pointy bit i might add)Īlso, there´s the fire, and here´s the big killer. The player is also struck with debris tumbling around inside the pod, i might be wrong but i recall its a steel (or titanium) lid, lets say it weights around 1.46 lb (660 g), subject that to 4.5Gs and you have a hefty projectile striking you right in the noggin´. Once the escapepod lauches, the character sits in a 'roller coaster chair' with his/her spine alligned vertically, even if we play with realistic numbers, say a Soyuz descent, the G-forces typically revolves around 4.5 Gs, but the seats in a Soyuz capsule is aligned horizontally, distributing the force evenly throughout your whole body.Ī human can still tolerate a vertical force for a short amount of time, (ie see fighter pilots) but with a prolonged exposure to those or higher forces you´d most likely pass out temporarly and wake up really roughed up.

Also radiation suits are minimally effective against Gamma Rays unless you are plated in 10cm thick lead armor, you're going to have a nasty tan for the rest of your life.Ī super-realistic Subnautica would probably end up with a very dead corpse of the player within the first few minutes of the game. Either the water should be safer, to about 110m from the Aurora or the surface should be much more hazardous to about 9km. The DM reactor must have some kind of harnessing step and it must be more energetic than Fusion or they would have gone for Fusion ractors which are radiation free.)(at least A,B,G free) Anyhow the radiation being fixed at 1km both above and below the surface of the water is suspect. (a nuclear reactor might harness the power by using heat to generate steam power, so it's a nuckearl reaction driving a steam engine. Since dark matter doesn't interact with EM radiation itself, the only way 'radiation' would be involved is perhaps the harnessing step. While you are at it, the Dark Matter reactors shouldn't be producing 'radiation' and if they are, it would be Gamma rays since the tech to create a 'Dark Matter Reactor' is beyond the tech for dealing with Matter-Anti-Matter reactions and if your making a higher tech reactor it follows that it would be more powerful, otherwise why? More powerful means higher energy and that infers gamma rays. That being said, I get a whole pack of ridiculous trolls every time I try to suggest realism, logic, or just plain making sense in a game forum. I am right there with you that it 'should' be more believable. Technically you can do anything in fiction, but it needs to be believable, and that's the distinction between imagination and stupidity. You can't just create different rules for it out of thin air. Lithium on the other hand, is always going to be lithium. Self-filling O2 tanks don't exist, but they could, in the future. Let me explain the difference when thinking about these things, aimed towards everyone who thinks they are being clever by making this sort of reply: Gasopod don't exist, but they could, on an alien world. By the way I could have picked other smart alec replies I just happened to pick yours - nothing personal. The answer that it is a lithium mineral is correct. Oh, wait.alien planet, science fiction.right.
