Ultra Gravity Cannon

Description
When the Earth Defence Institute developed the Ultra Gravity Cannon with the aim of improving transportation amongst the inner planets, it's spectacular success received widespread praise amongst many factions. It also enraged the Scorpion Corporation who had aimed to isolate the smaller colonies and demand sky-high prices for basic commodities on which they previously had a partial monopoly.

-----

The Ultra Gravity Cannon quickly (>300m/s) transports players to another location in space by using overwhelming levels of gravity to propel them in the desired direction.

Features:
Impressive lighting effects, very high powered (36 grav gens), switches off when no-one is in proximity to save power, meaning it's almost a week before you need to refuel it.

Builder Instructions:
Spawn facing the destination, align the centre of your reticle (not the grav tunnel) EXACTLY with your destination, then place. Consider placing a second UGC to facilitate return trips. Do not place overlapping with any other gravity fields, such as too close to a station - the blue paint job will not easily hide the blood splatters.

User Instructions:
Park ships nearby, exit, approach the cannon and jetpack to the position between the two arrows, making sure to sit in the centre of the path down the gravity tunnel to avoid accidents. Orange toned warning lights will activate when you are in position. Switch jetpack off (hit 'J') and after three seconds of being at the entry position, the gravity gens will fire, and you should be propelled forward at 300m/s or more. Glide until you reach your destination and then activate your jetpack ('J') again. You will stop immediately, so wait until you arrive before activating your jetpack. Make sure not to collide with anything unless you have an especially good health plan.

How do you know the max speed the player can achieve is 300m/s? Is not the speed while in god mode plus the speed key pressed the max can be achieved?

A few years back I was working on a CV that had gravity cannons for orbital insertion. lol, the hardest part was timing the grav generators.

This thing is awesome. we put them in on the warp in. So when were at battle we can warp back to base shoot over very fast and grab another ship to send in. They work amazing.

Now that I have tried this for myself... TWO BIG THUMBS UP!!! This is an awesome blueprint. It is fun as hell to use and amazing how fast you reach your destination. Love it to the moon and back (literally)..
