What I’m curious about is: just how well do the empires and Upwell understand those Isogen reactors? I mean, we have full specifications and blueprints on them. We build them ourselves, as capsuleers, but I highly doubt any of us understand what actually makes them work.
The empires took that even further, improving on Triglavian designs to produce ships like the Ikitursa and Zarmazd. I cannot imagine that they did that without making damned sure to understand what makes that Iso-reaction tick.
