LoneWolf Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Indeed they are. While not a source worth basing a scientific discussion on, I think I'll mention as a curiosity that even in Star Wars, kinetic weapons were still widely employed in space combat. That says a lot, that the most wonderfully unreal sci-fi franchise there is, admits good ol' kinetic projectiles had their uses even a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.Yes, I agree with the efficiency of kinetic weapons. Laser weapons are just cooler :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulvokunvrii Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Well keep this in mind: If we dont' get our act togehter down here (earth) there won't be a Space AGE or Space Combat (other than shooting incomming objects like asteriods). first things first yes?

Legion Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It would be very quiet, seeing as sound doesn't travel through a vacuum. I don't suspect you would find much noise other than the ambient sounds of the ships engines and crew members, and the occasional blast from a missile crashing into your ship.There probably wouldn't be many battles being waged in empty space since there doesn't seem to be anything tactical about it other than for defense around a planet or installation which in a sense isn't "empty" because there is an installation or planet there to defend.In addition to that, by the time we're able to wage wars like this, we will probably have perfected nuclear fusion. With that power, and our nature as it is, we would eventually create a weapon powerful enough to destroy a planet. Be it an accelerator to launch asteroids about or a bomb with the power to annihilate entire planets.Eventually the human race will wage war in space, be it in my lifetime or a million years from now if we can go on that long without blowing ourselves to oblivion. I find the prospect exciting, I look forward to shooting down massive space frigates with my nuclear fusion driven bombs and watching the enemies dead floating through space. Hilarious. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
