Is it me or the way hyperjumps are described allow for hyperspace "ballistic" shots? They do allow for "ballistic" shots through hyperspace. If that does not answer your question please rephrase your question. So technically hyperspace may be abused to impunely drop any kind of crap in the next gra...

The bell inequalities show that Non-Local phenomena must exist using quantum entanglement. Non-Local phenomena may allow for useful and causality problem free FTL communication and transport. Thus the confusion. Hmm. I'm ashamed to admit that i've gotten rusty at this since I left High Energy studi...

Because, you know, Quantum Physics, from my very own point of experience, has consistently chewed on all previously set on stone conceptions, threw them out of the window, gave them a wedgie and stole their lunch. It's the appeal of it. And If you can't forgive this heresy , I'd rather not ask abou...

Why this fixation on using an incorrect description of entanglement for communications? Saying "it's fictional" doesn't justify it, you can come up with any random thing as an explanation or avoid explaining it at all, and never have any problems with contradicting known physics. Why must it be qua...

Yes, I'm not talking about the real one (which so far, is much better for encryption and computing than transmission, anyway). But I can see that Loroi technological-based communications might not be as advanced as their Umiak counterparts, for example. They do have their own psi abilities, and it i...

Such is the internet... everything can happen. Cough. I do still think the weaponized version of particle beams might be viable at our stage of development. It'd be roughly three centuries after the first discovery of them by humans. Missiles are of course in game, we aren't sure of how much will th...

That is because the highly efficient systems of the loroi have the unforeseeable consequence of leaving chemically unstable waste behind. Or something.

As for Umiak...maybe they spontaneously explode as part of their reproductive cycle?

With vacuum in front of it, a particle beam becomes a deadly weapon. Oh no! He is armed with deadly television! :o[/quote] The word is Brehmsstrahlung. In normal conditions, air would stop the electrons and soak the radiation. But on vacuum, it suddenly stops against a hard target, emitting in the ...

Well, i don't know. I just saw on the topic on what mankind could offer, and for a moment i thought you were going to offer guns (also in space). :oops: Slug throwers. I'm sure both sides have them, because if they have missiles, they know about explosives, and thus they would know how to make a can...

Actually the main issue about guns is wether they'd be able to fire at all or not. In our atmosphere it certainly works, but can you say the same about the ever-changing conditions of space warfare? Yes. The atmosphere is quite irrelevant to the operation of a firearm, unless it's so dense that it ...

Actually the main issue about guns is wether they'd be able to fire at all or not. In our atmosphere it certainly works, but can you say the same about the ever-changing conditions of space warfare? Charges usually have their oxidant "on board", so it´s no matter of atmosphere, rather of rate of pr...

Actually the main issue about guns is wether they'd be able to fire at all or not. In our atmosphere it certainly works, but can you say the same about the ever-changing conditions of space warfare? Also, the accuracy and control you can have over slugs is rather limited when compared to missiles (t...

Well, we can't keep quiet, considering we just frikkin' threw ourselves in a middle of a fight just for the sake of exploration. Although the thing that bugs me is how humanity, society-wise, has had both Umiak and Loroi traits. (although this might be because they both are explained compared to hum...

Greetings. Just saw this today. Read this today entirely, and I must say it pleases me greatly. I found this via Tvtropes comments. Although there are two things that have me launch this message. 1- That humans aren't the gods of war (yet) in this setting. It brings me memories of a fantasy webcomic...
