On starting a new campaign, the player receives a small selection of missiles, guns, beams, and bombs to mount on his or her ship.
Its faceted glass panels, supported by rows of curved wood beams, evoke the skeleton of a ship's hull or the ribs of a corset.
In a long-favoured application of beam theory to the design of a ship's hull, the ship is assumed to be supported by a quasi-steady wave (i.e., not moving with respect to the ship) of a length equal to the length of the ship and one-twentieth of this length in height.
It could engage targets on an arc from between 30° to 150° from the centerline on either beam of the ship.
Instead of one or two large holds, Swan's design used several holds which spanned the width, or beam, of the ship.
Payne attempted to create a central axis to the two main public room decks (similar in fashion to the Normandie), but a full vista is broken by various public rooms that span the full beam of the ship.
In the present study, particular attention is paid to the performance of a ship in beam sea.
In the present study, the problem of ship safety has been considered with regard to the rolling motion of a ship in beam waves.
Here, secure beneath the ground, in a bunker protected by a concrete barricade and reinforced by V-shaped cross beams like those in the bowels of a ship, the secretaries of the War Office working in shifts were to type reports 24 hours a day.
Judging by video shot that day, the inside of the crown looked like the cabin of a ship, with metal beams and big bolts and rivets.
The basic principle is called the wakefield effect: When a laser beam ionizes a gas, it creates a wake like that of a ship as it passes through.
