		And the warriors of the Yadu dynasty were totally confused about the location of this mystifying vehicle: oftimes they would see the vimana on the ground, sometimes flying in the sky, other times resting on the crest of a hill, and even floating on the water.
		That awesome vimana flew in the sky looking like a whirling firebrand--it was never still, even for a moment.

		The ancient vimanas described in the Vedic and Puranic literature of India are so fabulous in their capabilities and construction, one might, with good reason, wonder if such things were actualities.
		What follows is the description of a much larger, more complex vimana (Note: this is the only place the word "vimana" is actually used in the text), which is powered by four mercury-engines.
		I was so familiar with descriptions by various authors of Sanskrit documents (both drawing or textual) dealing with vimanas, that I deemed the accuracy and authenticity of the actual content as beyond question.

		Called Vimanas, the planes are described in various Vedic texts such as the Rig Veda, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the Puranas.
		The Vimana sounds like a fascinating machine, somewhat possible given 21st Century technology perhaps, but a lot far-fetched considering it applied to Vimanas that supposedly existed 15,000 years ago.
		The very fact that water is present implies that the Vimana is a vessel large enough to carry water, possibly large amounts, and even some machine to mix these up implies a large Vimana.

		Since there seems to be a difference of opinion about whether the vimana drive should be used (automatically or manually) for in-system travel, perhaps we could discuss it a bit.
		My current solution is for the vimana drive to activate for distances over 20 dyams, but only long enough to get you within 20 dyams, at which point the in-system drives take over.
		I think Alex said that the in-system drive is also a Vimana drive, operating with lesser masses than the interstellar version, and therefore resulting in slower travel.

		These craft were the most advanced and powerful for their time, and are utterly unrivaled by modern standards; Indeed, the Kingfisher class Vimana, despite being less than 50 meters long, is comparable in firepower (Minus the Koman missiles) and defenses, and far superiour in manuverability and sublight acceleration, to the Federation's Defiant class Escorts.
		The Kingfisher class Vimanas have near-sentient AI computers, and direct neural interfaces through cybernetic implants to the crewers, allowing for incredible response times.
		The technology to build more has been completely lost; though through the use of spare parts and jury-rigging, more could be built, but the necessary machinery to manufacturing additional parts is lost to the mysts of countless millenia.

		According to ancient Indian texts, the people had flying machines which were called "Vimanas." The ancient Indian epic describes a Vimana as a double-deck, circular aircraft with portholes and a dome, much as we would imagine a flying saucer.
		It dealt with the operation of Vimanas and included information on the steering, precautions for long flights, protection of the airships from storms and lightening and how to switch the drive to "solar energy" from a free energy source which sounds like "anti-gravity."
		It is most likely that the later writers on Vimanas, wrote as observers and from earlier texts, and were understandably confused on the princible of their propulsion.
