truth is a battle in space (discounting shields and long range kinetic weaponry) would probably result in both sides blown to smithereens or leaking air/water/fuel into space. >Sounds like what your mom is currently doing. >>Sounds like what I'm currently do The best method would probably involve returning to the old days of organised gentlemanly battles... theres too much space, given the distances that would most likely be involved aiming would be incredibly difficult, and the defender would have time to dodge even lasers > idiot, you can't dodge lasers... they move at the speed of light, which is the limit for the speed at which information would travel, so you'd, at best, get the info of where the laser will hit, right when it hits... >> maybe with some kind of gravitic based communications or scanners.... >> so basically, what you're saying is that if someone shot a laser at Earth from Proxima Centauri, we would have 4 years to dodge it, BUT, we'd only know that when it hits us. >>>Precisely. We're doomed. Unless there are storm troopers on Proxima Centauri.
