If humanity were to play a any kind of roll in a Loroi battle group, I can see missile defense being something we could do pretty well. looking at the shipboard weapons page, you can see the Terran heavy laser has a not dissimilar range to the Loroi point defence laser. It also does much more damage...

A railgun not good as a CIWS would largely depend on style and tracking, most Anti ship weapons can do close to mach 8 . the only only thing that can fire in a similar speed is a rail gun. Name one anti ship weapon in service today that travels at mach 8. You cant. Nothing like that exists today.

Probably too large and too expensive, but I don't know what benefit it would be. Conventionally-fueled engines have plenty of power to push an aircraft fast enough to burn it up in the atmosphere. And I don't think you really want nuclear reactors on civilian aircraft that crash on a regular basis ...

do the terrans have access to nuclear fusion powered aircraft, more specifically fusion powered SABER engines? or are high power fusion reactors still too bulky to place on airliner sized machines?

Well, yeah stealth is a bit more difficult in space..not totally impossible but simply sneaking up on and enemy isn't gonna happen that often unless they enemy is really sloppy. Its not that stealth in space is difficult, its straight up impossible without hiding behind the stellar terrain. For exa...

Snip the submarine was very at successful at sinking ships during the war. And modern attack subs are one of the more deadly anti ship platforms. But they are exceedingly good at what they do because of the medium they inhabit. water allows the sub to close to what would be suicidal ranges for any ...

Sniiiiiiip. Well, I dont think the Burkes are supposed to fill the BB role, thats Zumwalt, doing it much worse then a battleship simply due to the fact that it cant sling over 40,000 pounds of 16" shells every minute. Also, I dont think you can replace a class of 75 ships with a class of 3. Either ...

Trends in naval design today are seeing destroyers increasing in size to become progressively more multi functional. So i figured a human destroyer produced post loroi contact would be largely similar, IE being larger and more capable then comparative loroi ships. This ship is 315 meters long, and g...

So, since cruisers are pretty sweet, and what few human ships we've seen are pretty sweet, i figured a Terran heavy cruiser class designed post loroi contact would also be pretty sweet. May I present the fightin'est 425 meters of steel, optics, and grey paint the Terran Colonial Authority can muster...

That's fine for a aerospace fighter, but if those are needed then either the TCA is being invaded (in which case we're probably going to lose, due to our fleet already having been destroyed), or the other side is being invaded and we're providing assistance. For a space fighter, start with the goal...

So in the outsider verse, it sounds like fighters have been relegated to second line duties due to the strength of point defense. However, the puny earthlings need something to relive scenes from top gun in, and i thought i could model something cool. let me present to you the SF-03 Kestrel, built a...

And now I reaffirm that math is not my strong point, whoops! :shock: Arioch, would you be able to give us any information on what the umiak point defenses are like, whether they're better/worse/or par with the loroi? or how willing the various friendly races are to exchange technology with humans? B...

First of all, GRAAAAVE DIIIIIG. Second of all, I think you guys are seriously underestimating the ability of mankind to build some supremely badass missiles. Take HIBEX for example. Around 370Gs of acceleration in atmosphere (the thing hit mach 1 coming out of the silo!) with a nuclear payload. and ...
