Err... An alleg sector is less than 3km top to bottom. A Tech Rock has a radius of what... 50m?Adaven wrote:QUOTE (Adaven @ Jan 6 2011, 11:22 PM) Even if the rock was 100% Uranium, it would still only be about 4 times more dense than average Earth density.
Tech rocks in Alleg are what, 3-4km? So surface gravity would be something like 0.02 m/s^2.
Although I do like the steam idea.
Still - It looks neat.

Sorry, but I also prefer it as a classic U-rock. Other than that your more-rounded rocks are 'teh awesome'.

FYI the "steam" is vaporised mercury held in place by electromagnetic forced produced by currents inside the molten U rock. Also why it forms rings rather than an even distribution.
Alternately it is electrostatic forces acting on charged particles within the gass, U rock's surface charge alternates +-+-. Result is gas gets attracted to some places (where the rings are) and not others, the gas doesn't reach the surface because of the heat - equilibrium static forces pulling in against the gas trying to fly off into space.
If you're still not happy, then I will say that there is a witch living in the rock and she smokes and uses magic to keep the nicotine smoke around because it is hard to buy cigars when you live on a u rock.
