From a computing point of view it's not that difficult. Light goes three feet per nanosecond, and a 3 GHz processor does three operations every nanosecond. Even factoring in the three-fold time dilation, the projectile's moving mere meters while the processor calculates its adjustment, especially since I think I can fairly claim much faster than 3 GHz in FT.Trailers wrote:Ularn, I would love to see how even a rocket assisted guided munition could analyze incoming data, adjust it's course and then make that course correction when moving at %95 the speed of light.
Whether the thrusters can change their output so quickly is another matter of course, but heck, even if they take milliseconds to adjust, a million times slower than the computer, a thousand km is still short compared to the likely distances of engagement.
Sufficient overkill to keep up with theSecond, how much overkill do you people really need. I mean Jesus Christ the amount of energy you're dickpumping into your ordinance means you have giant testicle ships, filled with muscle bound sailors no doubt, which are absolutely bristling with planet crackers.
I just surrender to all of you now. Clearly my technology cannot compete with your light speed balls of neutron depleted tungsturanium.
I'm not trying to tell you how to play, I just think weapons should be within logical limits.
