      "Unobtainium" as a word was coined in the 1950's aerospace industry for any material that had lots of interesting or useful properties (to make better aircraft mostly) whose only drawback was that it did not exist. The naming in the Avatar series was an in-universe reference to this - a room temp superconductor would be an amazing material, you just had to travel to another star system to find any.

      Technically, it's still unobtanium. Also known as nonsensium, sometimes refined into wishalloy or eludium, such terms are commonly used by engineers to describe any substance with imaginary physics-breaking special properties that probably doesn't exist anywhere in our universe. In fiction, it may also be called handwavium, and exists solely to drive the plot along. The ur example might be the original idea of the Philosopher's Stone in medieval alchemy.

    I've been craving an audio drama like The Sojourn for a while now. I love listening to audio dramas like The Sojourn when I'm falling asleep, they give me fun dreams. TV shows can work, but they often show the audience things necessary for the plot. I'll feel like I have to watch. Meanwhile, many audio dramas are heavy-handed in their descriptions, "Look at that ship, it's purple, with blinking lights, see how it spins?" "Yes, I do Harry, and see how it looks like there are people on board." Ugh, it's so heavy-handed and annoying. I'm not too fond of those sorts of exposition dumps. I love The Sojourn for feeling like I'm just sitting on board, listening. I can let my imagination get ramped up as I drift off into dreamland, and with each episode being only 20-ish minutes long, I can dream for real (unaided) and wake up refreshed. I wish more audio dramas would follow suit, but I am so glad The Sojourn is here now. I'm listening to Nebula and love it. Thank you.

      Heat is very difficult to get rid of in space, so if you generate more of it by using a smaller crystal you are going to need bigger radiators on your ship.

      ​​​@@webchimpexactly one of the ways you could get rid of heat is putting it into the plume of the engine exhaust however their some problems with that but one of the other ways is putting heat into cold gas thrusters which will give them both a higher specific impulse and higher thrust it would also be a very genus way to get rid of heat during maneuvering in combat while also making you more maneuverable at the same time and higher reaction times to have higher chances of dodging.

    That is some high quality pseudoscience. I'd dust off my remembrance of vector calc to see if that meets the properties of a conservative field, but there's probably not enough coffee in the whole world. It's best that I just preserve my suspension of disbelief.
