That’s what has been done in some Science Fiction. Andromeda used coil guns to accelerate missiles both large and minuscule. They took the idea to an extreme though! Pumping significantly subluminal velocities into systems and expect them to still work.

I like the idea of coil guns, but so far haven’t gotten real practical velocities out of them.

What if the slug were stealth? I don't see why not. I recommend you look up footage of a USNavy rail gun being fired. It’s a highly energetic event involving lots of plasma and molten metal from both the rails and the projectile sabot making a spectacular muzzle blast. Any such projectile would glo...

But are they edible? I definitely want to know!

Humanity controls a lot of systems without terrestrial colonies. We know Eridani is the closest of the Six Worlds to the conflicting powers, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t set up orbitals and buffer zones in the systems that lead to and from it. The best course of them all would be to negotiate a...

Since Word-of-Arrioch , or at least the old GURPs character sheets he created, indicate that Fireblade’s nightmares are broadcast telepathically to all nearby, if Alex’s presence becomes known to her in her dream, will other Loroi in the shuttle also become aware of him in the dream? That could be i...

I agree with Dragoonfa’s assessment of the lighting. The Loroi survivors are tattooed, I wonder if they are RFID tagged as well?

Elf quest! I forgot about those! Good memories from my teenage years!

We knew this was likely coming! And yes, I agree. Truly alien and aggressive, thoughts and behavior not compatible with modern human society. I, for one, would rather die fighting than see this happening on human worlds. Kill it with fire just became the preferred option. Humanity doesn’t have the m...

Thank you, Krulle, I am mostly being treated for damage done by side effects and treatments at least for now I am in remission . I think my point should have been: human dreams are only rarely remembered , PTSD being a notable exception. I’m mostly over that. We’re about to see what the PTSD nightma...

The only dreams I remember are either semi prophetic, or probably drug induced due to chemotherapy and pain meds. The other 99.999% are gone before I wake. Alex is most certainly in Fireblade’s nightmares.

True! The ultimate high ground leaves almost nowhere to hide, and fuel air munitions are as cheap as propane! Expensive part is always the delivery system anyway.
