Yeah I really like planet consuming Warp storms myself.

Correct. II was overlooked in that aspect, but we'll keep a better eye on it.

Avenio's got a post up! Present to me your aliens!
Other people are welcome to send delegates as well, of course. Just post in the OOC thread and arrangements will be made.

Does a caesium/water reaction have the potential to dramatically change the course of a supercarrier-sized vessel in space?

I think you'd need so much water ans casium that the extra mass just wouldn't be worth it. Assuming this is still a question of your backup drive system, I'd honestly just go for having multiples of whatever drive you use presently. For example, if you currently have a single phlebotnium drive capable of producing 100 Whatsits of thrust, then replace it with four smaller drives delivering 25 Whatsits. That way, even if one drive fails then you can still travel at 75% of your total power.

Actually, its an emergency thruster system: I'm using a VASIMR for the normal engine. The caesium/water reaction would just blast the ship onto a new course.

Yeah, but I'm saying that rather than having a mass-expensive emergency thruster, you'd be better off with replacing your single thruster with several smaller ones so that you have redundancy. You don't suffer the mass penalty of lugging a big block of caesium and tons of water around, and one hit to the engines still won't cripple your ship.

It's a sandbox 'game' that, while still pretty Alpha, it generates the ENTIRE UNIVERSE with random stars and planets, so if you want to break away from having to use established sci-fi franchise planets or use planetary art from, say, DeviantArt, you can now wander out into the universe and find a planet that you feel fits your nation perfectly. All you have to do is take a screenshot from orbit, and if you feel like getting some geographical shots, just land on the planet's surface and wander around. Or you can grab a spaceship and cruise around, though the controls for those are pretty rough at the moment.

While crashy and you do kinda need a PC with some muscle to run it well, I've found it to be an invaluable resource for nation building. It seems to be easily moddable, so those of us that make our own ships can even use that to not only create good images for factbooks, but general artsy scenes as well for sprucing up posts (although you should rely more on your words to do the scene setting for you).
