[X] Polyferride Alloy (+1 Cost) [Prototype] (One Success Roll: Maximum Warp Increase [0.1 - 0.4])

I am also for going with the polyferride.
While cost increase is unfortunate, maximum warp is really important across the board.
It would allow even for civilian ships to increase a chance of escape in an emergency, like a pirate attack for example, while, and far more important, it increases the chances of military ships to be able to engage and disengage at their terms, and we have seen in the romulan war just how great an advantage it is tactically.

I think it's accounted for in the (+0.1 - +0.2) bit, it's 6.8 plus whichever of those is rolled.
I'm also in favor of the polyferride, for the record.

Now we start seeing some of the most important parts of this ship part.
While the standard coils are standard for a reason, the polyferride alloy offers some tempting propositions for boosting our warp ceiling generally, allowing both a cruise and sprint boost based on my current reading. The cost is somewhat annoying, but the potential reward is worth it in my opinion.

warp coils getting somewhat costly but then i think there the most costly thing of the ship most the time anyway?

Metallurgical improvements are generally something that trickles out to everything, so I see no reason not to push it there. If better temperature tolerances means better warp core durability/lifespan/survivability alongside speed, it'll pay for itself in a crisis - and that's assuming the process doesn't get refined to be cheaper over time (which is bloody rare in metallurgy). Definitely [ ] Polyferride for me.

Agreed, while prototypes will be expensive, once they're in proper mass production and all kinks have been ironed out, the costs can be greatly reduced.
Also, a speed increase with no dice roll for safety, only cost. HELL YES!!

Economies of Scale effect kicking in at some point would be nice, yes. Leaning towards the polyferride option myself since this prototype has little in the way of crippling drawbacks or fail deadly tech.

Still a bit early, guys. Moratorium's on for another 20ish minutes.
