Ok, I've been thinking, specifically about the Negative Gravity Screw. I did some basic research (google search) about it, and it yield up nothing. Could you possibly explain the concept? If you don't, I'll put down my dime.

(My Idea)

Negative Gravity Screws are a simple device that imitates the planet's gravity, essentially making all ships equipped with the Negative Gravity Screw only operatable on a planet. Back to the point, the Negative Gravity Screw imitates the planet's gravity so that the two units, planet and screw, are at equilbrium. Rendering the ship "flying". However, if you get close to Negative Gravity Screw, weird things will happen. Ships equipped with the Negative Gravity Screws should range from battleships to crusiers. As apposed to flying ship, which I assume uses Antigravity Devices to keep it flying, it makes ships with the Negative Gravity Screws much more manuverable and fast but light hitting (compared to today's flying ships) and lightly armoured. Due to the simplicity of the Negative Gravity Screw, it should be used in new/small navies (no offense to anyone) and should be easy to produce. That's pretty much all I have to say. What do you think?
