@Unfortunately I'm not expecting a WIP to be expected, so mm'kay.

@Tracyarmav I am Gunnery Sergeant Laska, your senior drill instructor.

@Themerlinhawk Blowing shit up is one of my specialties, along with fucking shit up, burning shit down, pulling off that shit, not believing this shit, kicking people's shit in, and ripping off heads and shitting down necks.

EDIT: Raven is an NPC, so you won't be remaking someone else's character. Plus prates come in a lot of flavors, it'll be interesting to see what flavor yours has.

@Tracyarmav

Chocolate sorbet?

@Willy Vereb Fair enough.

@Willy Vereb Not full output, and several railguns, so not full plasma.

I'll be on my computer in a bit, would you like to talk about this in more depth then?

On The Brink of Instability (and we're off!)

Although well if you do need a weapon for terestrial bombardment then I do suggest kinetic bombs. That is nothing but dropping random mass from space. Or if precision is required use smaller munitions but en-masse.

@Willy Vereb

That's actually what I was planning basically, when I said kinetic bombardment I didn't mean WMDs and such, basically just the en masse bombardment, like naval arillery but in spaaaaaaaace.

As to the ships, the Confederation does have those, and in fact most of their military power is space based, though there's a tendency to favor kinetic energy weapons over directed energy, though they certainly do have many of the railguns that'll launch plasma projectiles.

@Willy Vereb You actually make excellent points, and I will concede that you know more about this than I, and I haven't put a lot of thought into this, which I intend to rectify. So if my plan is Swiss cheese, I'm not surprised.

I am however, reluctant to use nukes because of their connotations, and wonder what you could suggest as an alternative to an easily interceptable weapon like a "Rod from God" and a weapon like a fusion warhead (and I am aware of fusion's lack of fallout) with the connotations it carries.

I was actually thinking spaceship batteries, but again, I haven't been able to put too much thought into military matters.

@End Here Should be.
