Why recoil should be greater for material projectile if it have same energy?.. I can understand why plasma can have no recoil- its main damage factors is heat and whatever electromagnetic capsule is used to carry plasma intact to target, weight of the projectile and its speed can be neglegible. 7,9...

Not quite yet. Racism requires one other element, which I neglected to mention earlier. You forgot, but I wrote about it a page or two ago. I clarify that in the modern interpretation, racism is precisely the offensive or humiliating relationship between people on the basis of race. In itself, uneq...

All this sounds clever, but, firstly, the main characteristic of recoil is the impulse, which for any number of particles will be incomparably lower than that of a bullet, even without for the impulse from the detonation of a propellant charge or plasma during rail acceleration of a projectile. An ...

The energy of the shot, the penetrating ability, the high-explosive and blasting effects are not the same thing.

The adjustment probably concerns not so much the POWER of the shot as its FOCUS. In the end, we are dealing with energy weapons.

Considering they can't fit dampers on the smallest shuttles, they're probably not that tiny right now. And certainly not so cheap that they would be put on every hand weapon.

Any alien species that has built a starship has demonstrated the capability to discern the world around them to a degree sufficient enough for racism. If they can differentiate between the raw materials needed to manufacture flight electronics, they can keep apart the various sub-groups of man. If ...

About recoil - the beam weapon will have it. But weak. Plasma - stronger. But all the same, it is orders of magnitude weaker than that of a kinetics with a comparable shot energy. Because the mass of particles and the degree of physical interaction work with very different quantities than the system...

Bamax, you are some kind of post-spam machine...

He is a pink alien man. Romantic - maybe, but heroic ?! <noise of loroi chauvinism>

Which, by the way, is very funny. Many people who write or think science fiction are inclined to introduce one or another kind of batrization - they say, cut off aggression, throw xenophobia to hell, and generally reduce the negative emotional spectrum, and add rationality over emotions, we will hav...

I said the same thing in other words, albeit probably in much worse English.

However, halfway meeting either with me or with you is didn't take place, so is it worth it to continue stirring the porridge?

In my opinion, the discussion is clearly at an impasse. Werra insists that regardless of conditions, baseline and current, aliens will be familiar with the concept of racism and will apply it to humans. The other side, represented mainly by Cthulhu and me , appeals to the fact that the aliens, to be...

@Demarquis I do not quite understand the essence of your question\statement, but this is only a listing of facts: 1) Contact with species with different biochemistry: Neridi and Barsam - Soia-group, as well as Loroi, Nissek, Arekka, Mannadi, Delrias, Golim, Pipolsid - conditional "Terrestrial" group...

Well, we can use nuclear-pumped disposable lasers in warheads. Given the power of the impulse from the detonation of antimatter, the impulse of such a laser will potentially be able to burn through even ship armor at a considerable distance, not to mention much more lightly armored missiles.

I am slowly working on this, but there are always a bunch of problems that distract attention in different directions, and all this hysteria with the epidemic does not make the situation any easier.

In general, I have been slowly writing a story somewhere since 2016 (in fact, I just merged Jim's universe with my idea, which I have been working on since about 12th year, the concept seemed interesting to me) but since I know English at the level of "fix the most obvious translator mistakes" there...

It is doubtful that a species that has gone into space, has come into contact with various species, both having compatible biochemistry, and not, and has reached the level of development of medicine, which allows the regeneration of entire organ systems in a short time directly on the patient: a) do...

The shuttle was discovered because the umiak knew its trajectory and speed when it disappeared from radar. Having this data, it is absolutely trivial task to reduce the search area to reasonable values. Any movement in space is a completely different matter. First, the exit from the hyperjump in Jim...

Perhaps, I write through a translator, so it's hard for me to judge. In fact, no, I am quite tolerant of this one, because from the point of view of my experience, this is an inevitable evil for at least the next two hundred years. I am much more offended by the wrong terminology, since certain term...

Again, the problem is that the ship's hull is not the primary detection tool in space. The main detection factor is the huge and very bright torch of the engines, which is easy to spot from the other end of the system and the signature of which is much more difficult to fake than to imitate the sign...
