How are we powering these rail guns? Don't they take an absolutely fuck ton of power?

[@TemporalandReaty]

@@ReptillianStrike Nuclear reactors mostly, same way we power most carriers and submarines, it was mandated at one point to consider it for all naval applications to save on fuel costs and to make supplying the various craft happen on a longer timescale than the fuel since most reactors only need more fuel every 10-20 years or so. Most Destroyers don't have it because the old steam systems got phased out on them when gas was introduced and it makes the individual cost of the craft too expensive. Speculatively even with one of the massive diesel engines it would likely just have a capacitor bay setup for the shots likely being capable of 20-30 shots and then recharging with a possible swap between two capacitor banks. Either solution solves the power issue since its all about the split second it takes to accelerate it taking so much since it needs a sufficient field strength to properly accelerate the target. So, likely even on the nuclear craft it still would have some kind of capacitor bank it'd just likely recharge faster since the source power is higher overall. There'd likely also be controls for speed of charging and speed of discharge to modulate the speed the shot is going for ranging and power cost efficiency reasons. No point in a full power shot when half will still go through the target.

Considering we havent actually got hard light, and its not likely possible, you cant really comment on its heat, if you somehow created a sort of flexible, extremely reflective material, still likely more feasible than solid light, you could possibly create a suit to deal with it.
