- adrianN 8y agoBattles in space are about who has more fuel and who can dissipate waste heat faster. You want to fire small, hard to detect ammunition from hours or days far away and try your best to anticipate the evasive maneuvers or shape your bullets' trajectories such that evading costs most fuel.
- Ftuuky 8y agoInteresting. So spaceships will probably be heavily armoured, full of big long range weapons (rail guns?) and huge fuel reserves for unforeseeable course changes.
- adrianN 8y agoThe heavier you are the more fuel you need for high-G maneuvers, the more fuel you carry the heavier you are... more guns and more armor are not unconditionally better.
