man, ttrpgs are so great. when I was a kid I spent hours poring over GURPS & DND sourcebooks (Transhuman Space, Alpha Centauri, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks) but never... actually got to really play any because coastal essex is kind of a cultural wasteland.

maybe "windmill drive" would be a good choice to use instead - kind of conveys an immediate idea of how it works vs the ambiguous "windrider".

is it silly that I use the term "magnetic windrider" to refer to Q-drives in my setting... I always worry that 'Q-drive' is insufficiently descriptive and will be interpreted as a magic reactionless engine. RAIR is even less descriptive of a name I suppose but also feels less superscience-y.

For #toughtober Day 8 (Plasma) I made an animation illustrating how a Q-drive works. Annotated diagram to come later. Once again entirely nondestructive #scifi #space #art thanks to #blender3d #geometrynodes
