to drop a grenade down a vent ?

What would trigger the self-destruct in your design ?

- adrian_b 2y agoWhile in the Hollywood movies people always succeed to miraculously enter heavily guarded objectives without being detected, in real life this should be impossible. With a well designed system of redundant sensors of multiple kinds, it should be impossible for anyone to come aboard such a ship without being instantly detected as a foe and without having their movements tracked with precision. The ship should have some self-defense system, but when that defense system is overwhelmed and it is impossible to prevent enemies to enter certain critical zones, self-destruction should be activated. When the internal communication between certain parts of the ship is lost, presumably due to damage inflicted by attackers, self-destruction may also need to be activated. This seems as one of the easiest parts to design of such a ship. Designing various sub-assemblies to be repairable using automatic means will be more challenging, especially in their mechanical design.
