Humans: “What happens if you remove the safeties on the FTL drives?” Followed by “How small can we make them for a 1 way trip?”

[@thomasschulz2167]

From an engineering point of view, redundancies, shielding, and accessories take up double or triple the volume of space for the actual engine. Reducing the requirement to, "It needs to work only once and only for x amount of time with no people around it." means the engineers have just been taken off of the leash. And the real question becomes, what payload and what speed? Do you want an FTL RPG so you can snipe components of an enemy ship, or do you want an FTL slug the size of a small asteroid to crack an enemy planet from 2 sectors over.

[@purplefood1]

​@@Amoth_oth_ras_shash I'm not sure there's much indicating it's more mechanical that computerised but even so EW can include false emissions to effect sensors as well, imagine a fleet of essentially invisible battleships or something that looks like a civilian ship and is suddenly a warship.

The difference in attitude. The old method was to fight a battle not to lose, whereas the Humans winning the battle was all that mattered.

[@catfwish]

Correction: fighting the battle so the enemy loses.

[@veronho1ness]

@catish3692 The old method emphasised rules that had acceptable losses so one would not lose face. The humans entered the fray with the attitude that winning was the most important thing. How one achieved that end did not matter. The current rules didn't apply because they weren't subject to them.

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

You know, I was expecting a bomb pumped laser or a casaba howitzer to reduce the effectiveness of point defense, but the FTL Drive itself being the weapon is even better!

[@Space_Drifter0621]

I expected some sort of atomic weapon

[@donanthebarbarian5177]

I mean a bomb detonating in space only emits light and particle radiation which even if focused into a laser that's firing from closer with more energy than a ship mount can is still going to be severely weakened by highly reflective armor. A missile going low fractions of c while devastating are easily intercepted by lasers, a missile going high fractions of c are way too expensive to make or bulky to get up to speed quickly/correct course of given tracking is STL still. So the only useful tech for a missile under these circumstances is a FTL missile.

[@gregkelmis2435]

We need a backstory and a couple hundred episodes taking this too. It’s very dramatic end.

[@colinsmith1495]

"Missiles can easily be taken out with lasers" "Mirrored shells are a great way to protect from lasers until the enemy maneuvers around your back side" Make missiles with reflective surfaces so they can't be taken out by lasers, fast enough that other point defenses are unreliable. If you're really aggressive, give the missiles simple AI, their own laser turrets (or others), ECW suits, etc. Basically combat drones. FTL Metal Spike sounds overkill, and likely VERY expensive. The fact the galaxy hadn't even gotten to the above yet shows humanity will walk all over this class system.

[@MikMoen]

Aww, when he said the Human ships had tubes I thought they were Mass Accelerators. Bringing a gigantic gun to a laser fight.

[@lemax6865]

That wouldn't have solved the problem, indeed it would have made it exponentially worse. The ships were at several light-seconds of distance from each other, meaning laser weapons take several seconds between firing and reaching their target (laser beams travel at the speed of light). Hence the doctrine of predicting enemy movement patterns and firing where they're expected to be. Mass accelerator slugs would at best move at a fraction of that speed, so instead of seconds, you'd have to account for hours, or at best minutes depending on how advanced the guns are. Current day railguns can achieve muzzle velocities around 2500 m/s, which means that the projectile would require over 33 hours to cross a distance of one light-second.

[@MikMoen]

@@lemax6865 So, depending on the kind of Mass Acceleration we're using here, it may not be that much of a disadvantage. Let's go with everyone's favorite form, Halo's MACs. Those systems, at highest charge is said to propel 3,000 ton depleted uranium slugs up to "point four tenths" the speed of light. There's a bit of contention with that what's supposed to mean, as that translates to 0.4, or 40%. A bullet traveling at nearly half the speed of light would be pretty incredible, as that's nearly 120 million meters per second.

[@lemax6865]

@@MikMoen That would still more than double the travel time over lasers, so even with mass accelerators that ridiculously powerful, it doesn't solve the problem. It makes it worse. That's without even going through what happens with mass going that fast, general relativity being a thing.

[@HimitsuYami]

Technically, they did accelerate mass. It just so happened that that mass was in the form of a missile. And that it was accelerated faster than the speed of light. But mass was in fact still accelerated

[@Kualinar]

«And they had done it because everyone forgot to tell them the couldn't do it» ? No luck, pall. If someone HAD told them that they couldn't do it, the Humans would have done it even faster.

[@sparkyplugclean2402]

Everybody all big and bad til you teleport a nuke onto their bridge.

[@Chaun1998]

They didn't teleport nukes. They stuck an FTL drive behind a tungsten slug. Just impacting something at close to relativistic speed would create a nuclear explosion whose size would be determined by the mass of the colliding objects. I don't know how to calculate what happens when two objects with mass collide at super-relativistic speeds. I'm pretty sure the first missile should have totally obliterated more than just the dreadnought.

[@noneofyourbuisness1679]

Never tell a human they can't do something. They will always do it out of spite or curiosity. Never tell a human they shouldn't do something. They will always do it just to prove a point.
