Day two in the docks of my Wraith, I'm taking as many grasps of the ship as I can, will hurt a lot seeing it being taken apart, even though it is for a good cause. Today we've tested the power capacity of the core as it is now. It seems that the old Wraith model has a power capacity of about 11160u, which isn't much less than the modern ones but the weapons we're using are a rather new model. This means that the power core suffers the energy consumption of modern weaponry while being an outdated model. It's like using an old engine from 20 years ago for a new ship. The wear of the ship increases a lot and the core will die quicker, it is simply not made for the newer models of Stealthblades, Hornvipers and god forbid Order weapons. Compared to the Order vessels, the interior technology of the Rheinland ships is way behind. Its controls allow you full control of the ship, however, the Bastet, as a fitting comparison, offers way more automatism. Not that this surprises me, the Rheinländer always prepared to fly mostly by themselves. Judging by how well this standard still keeps up, it is actually a dangerous thought to have Rheinwehr pilots use modern ships by the Order, they would be even more dangerous.

They looked at the status of my powercore and told me it was pretty worn out already, I told them that before, though. The ship makes strange noises while reloading the energy as if something was blocking it, nothing was found doing so, though. I've scrapped the plan of utilizing a Bastet core. Sure, it would be modern and new, not worn off at all but its capacity is even lower than the current Wraith, for the Order, this might not be a problem but for us, it indeed could be. Next plan is to use fusion reactors of other Order ships and possibly combine stuff to make something new. That will only make it more complicated in the end, though. The look on some of the engineer's faces was priceless, so... hopeless. I mean, my ship isn't nearly as bad as they made it out to be. Anyway, got to go back to work, we're going to take the ship apart tomorrow and then look at the insides.
Wunderbring Ende.
