The cooling system has made a dramatic effect on the tempreture that we can force equipment to work at. With this extended system, we can possibly run the SaF process from the engine without effectively causing damage to it for around 3 months before we start seeing wear and tear on the reactor.
One thing that seems to be behind scheduled is the development of the top layer skin of the active-camouflage system, something that is crucial to the mirage system in disguising the ship from direct visuals. But right now, the restructuring of the ship does take time... The hull is in pieces and I would like to wait for at least a combat effective Armour is ready.
Ghost Veil: Vapor chamber coolers
One of the biggest problems I faced was the expulsion of hot gasses from the engine vents that can increase our heat signature and leaves a paper trail to where the ship has been. If the ship is engaged within full camouflage and stealth abilities, the heat signature and gasses from the engine would still give the position of the ship away. But the type of fuel used within our engine has some strange properties as I discovered. DT fuel has a glowing effect when its temperature is at of 2000C, quickly dissipating as it is cooled as its hit by the vacuum of space. What was developed was a small internal cooling chamber designed to have particles that leave the engine vent will hit the vapor chamber immediately before its able to reach into the open areas of space. As noted, movement of the ship is still nominal as the gasses leave the main engine vent at high speed producing force against the super-structure of the ship and moves into the vapor chamber cooling tunnel, but its within a self contained area until the gasses of cooled down and aren't visible against a IR scanner.

"Meanwhile, further studies with the HNP engine using its regular DT fuel found that when exposed to a coolant area after the gas is forced out of the engine, heat dissipation but also the signature “Glow” of the engine propellant is degenerated heavily. What has been designed is a honeycombed funnel with running coolant pipes similar to a vapor chamber and an included fan-assist to have a constant flow of cooled gas movement, this coolant matrix runs through an expansion of the engine funnel after most of the momentum energy is expended from the propellant within the hotter chamber which still provides the regular amount of thrust from an engine, just within a self contained chamber to avoid radar and visual detection.
The still hot but mostly slowed down gasses that don't contribute towards the movement to the vessel (Green) then run through a vapor chamber cooled funnel (Blue) which cools hot gases on contact. With DT fuel, this means that both the noticeable heat signature from its excited particles and signature glow almost disappears completely (Grey). Although what was found with this is that one, a ship would need a dedicated cooling system for the vessel, but would require something to cool ultra-hot gasses, something comparable to a cyro-cooling bay dedicated to cooling various systems for a vessel and they’re relatively large. And a vessel would also need to re-design its entire platform around it."
Quote:Progress on the redesign of the prototype is coming along nicely, I'll need to see about doing more paperwork to make sure everything is in order. The logistics team seems to be doing well in their covert deliveries and things seem to be arriving faster than i predicted... And that's running my bank a little dry.
