Dr Forbidden has announced the latest technological advance which will be rolled out to NS ships over the coming years, Fluid Morphic Systems (FMS). This is an advanced new method of building circuits using holographic data. Instead of traditional wires and components circuits are built using holograms, these are able to be changed when needed by altering the holographic template.
Dr Forbidden said, "Imagine a ship in battle receives damage to it's tactical computer. In the past we've needed to switch to a back-up, but sometimes this is unavailable, maybe it has already been damaged too. With Fluid Morphic Systems another system can be reconfigured to replace the broken system in seconds. Perhaps a science console, not needed in combat, could be used. In a recent test we were indeed able to change a gravimetric analysis console into a tactical console in just three seconds!"
Updates and improvements can also be carried out instantly by sending changes to the holographic structure of FMS systems. Dr Forbidden said that field tests had been promising and NS would begin to roll out FMS in the next decade once some final details are worked out. These are thought to include data security, obviously an enemy would love to be able to configure NS systems admitted Dr Forbidden.
NS are planning to move to unhackable fractal encryption for data transmission in the 2120s, this will solve any security issues with FMS.
