Well that's my point though, by using inertial confinement. You could get an extremely powerful gas core like fission propulsion system without requiring all of the wacky batshit crazy engineering to keep them from exploding constantly. You would remove the constraints of having to worry about the walls melting or flushing out unused uranium. And unlike fusion ICF, you don't need massive fuck off lasers to do the near impossible (nuclear fusion), you can probably really easily achieve nuclear fission with some basic lasers and a basic setup fuel pellet.

So now you get an ICF fission reactor that can achieve ISP's in the 10,000's of seconds and thrust levels in the 1,000,000's of newtons all without worrying about the reactor itself exploding because there is no reactor. Just a pretty capable torch drive based on basic bitch fission.

That's cool, but can we make Arwings with it?
