Warp Drive is now online on Titan.DS!
After 3+ months of planning, asset making & coding, I am so stoked to share this module with everyone! Big shout-out to the art/design crew from ST: Picard, I replicated and mimicked many elements from various cool displays seen on the show. And thanks to Mike Okuda, several components & technobabble could be easily referenced from his enchanting book, ST:TNG Technical Manual (wikiLink). Also thanks to Andrew Jarvis (https://ion.studio), I wouldn’t have made the Tracer mode without your kind suggestion🙂
Display A: Matter/Antimatter Reactant Injectors
Display B: Warp Core & Coils, + optional Warp Field
Display B with Tracer Mode⬆️ This module comes with 3 display variants:
- Display A • Matter/Antimatter Reactant Injectors
- Display B • Warp Core & Coils with optional Subspace Warp Field
- Display B with Tracer Mode • Auto walkthrough of the entire warp propulsion system
A quick note on the fuel/plasma animation speed, it can be changed by altering the “reactant intermix ratio.” First, locate the intermix ratio numbers — it sits at 22:1 in the default condition. (Technobabble: it means 22 parts of matter reactant with 1 part of antimatter reactant) Then tap on the nearby plus/minus signs to change the reaction (animation) speed. The speed increases when the ratio gets closer to 1:1. Both Display A & Display B will be synchronized to the new speed. Tap the ratio number to reset it back to 22:1. For more technobabble explanation on the intermix ratio, please see pages 61-62 in 📕ST:TNG Technical Manual.
⬇️ Per usual, here is this module’s User Manual (infographic) on its interactivity.
interface infographic / user manualIt’s been exhausting but fun to make this module🙂 Let me know what you think on my Patreon page, on my Discord server, or on my Bluesky page. A next module won’t be released until 2025. Though before the year ends, and if time allows, I’d still like to modify the internals of the Titan.DS a bit so that it can be packaged up as an Offline Desktop app, also as a wallpaper for the Wallpaper Engine on Steam. Fingers crossed for the new experiments.
Thanks to my Patreon & Ko-Fi members for your continued support. I truly appreciate it! Happy thoughts to you all🖖
