Megastructure
Quantum Catapult
Catapulte quantique
Description
A device that focuses the forces of a Neutron Star or Pulsar in order to twist space and skip a fleet across great distances.
Where to build it
Must be built on a Neutron Star or Pulsar.
- Cannot build due to existing Megastructure.
Required technologies
Construction stages
1. Quantum Catapult Site
This compact supply depot gathers all the materials and personnel necessary to construct the first batch of vast focusing lenses for the Quantum Catapult.
- Cost
- 2,000 Alloys, 300 Influence
- Upkeep
- 25 Energy Credits
1,800 days to build
2. Quantum Catapult Single Array
Calculations have shown that even a scant few torsion lenses, installed at precise locations around their star, can channel enough energy to enable semi-volatile trajectories across interstellar space.
- Upkeep
- 50 Energy Credits
1,800 days to build
3. Quantum Catapult Twin Arrays
Twin arrays of torsion lenses are placed diametrically opposite each other in order to improve the channeling of stellar flux as a means of transportation.
- Upkeep
- 60 Energy Credits
1,800 days to build
4. Quantum Catapult
A linked cage of torsion lenses around the star ensures optimal throughput from the energy being captured to its release as a means of interstellar transportation.
- Upkeep
- 75 Energy Credits
1,800 days to build
