The wreck-pack was a distant, disk-like mass against the star-flecked heavens, a mass that glinted here and there in the feeble sunlight of space. It did not seem large, but, as they drifted steadily closer in the next hours, they saw that in reality the wreck-pack was tremendous, ...
If 200 megawatt fusion torches (your last figure of merit that I recall) can be considered expendable munitions, on ships that do cruises of several months (implying they have around 40 or more of them), that means that they're mildly mass produced. If these are ever sent on marginal int...
Gotta go fast, gotta map that asteroid, gotta bootstrap that mass driver or blast a few nukes down the gullet before it becomes a threat! Yeah, it's a load of bull. But it's the game the Inners play. And we'll be at it soon, too. Out here, everyone finds reasons for why ...
And there are some – a common design, particularly in video-games, are ships built around a single large spinal-mount railgun (e.g. Mass Effect, Halo), resulting in a design with a main reactor in the middle, plugged into an engine assembly behind it, a gun assembly in front of it...
From MASS EFFECT WIKI entry for OMNI-TOOL SWATKATS GLOVATRIX Summary The Glovatrix is the signature anti-personnel weapon and multi-tool of the SWAT Kats. Designed by Razor, the original version of this device was worn like a fingerless glove, with three barrels over the knuckles and a box...

For example: a 38 Special has a mass of 9.5gr and muzzle velocity of 900m/s, divide the multiply by 80Kg of fully armed security guard will results in one guard slowly drifting 0.1m/s backward when fired. (more details here) All of this, of course, is purely theoretical scenario ...
This means (unlike other games) it handles hyperbolic orbits and Lagrange points. During combat, the mass balance of the ships are recalculated as the propellant tanks are emptied, since this alters how the ship will tumble when torqued. A railgun accelerates its armature based on numerical ...
Lungs, kidneys, intestines and other blood filtering organs function according to surface area, so must either increase in mass or become more convoluted at larger body sizes. The horror movies about giant insects ravaging the countryside are really quite impossible, even on low-gravity worlds. A...
