I do like kinetic weapons, they could realy be the futures weapon. Maybe just use large piece of metal with sufficient thermal shielding and get nice amount of kinetic energy... I would say it's good desing to have access to most parts from inside ship, saves lot of trouble, some parts aren't so easy but most things should be... Just look at politics, it's general nature of humans and we will never get away from it unless we start killing every sociopath and narcist now, including most politicians and bussiness leaders... |

Kind of reminded me of that Day in the Life episode of Babylon 5 that followed two maintenance techs. It was a nice behind the scenes type of episode and remember one of the Techs getting the weapons console working again by removing a cockroach like bug from it and complaining how they are everywhere in the station.

He was not "quite" human either
Both my wife and youngest daughter like Chris Judge as Teal'c. He was Jaffa, not quite human either. Last edited by sabredog; 02-19-2012 at 10:06 PM. |

Yes, Stargate came to my mind first. But then my mind went to Number Six, Seven of Nine... and then my mind ceased to function properly (hormonal overdrive).

At, say, a Star Trek: The Next Generation level of technology, where you no longer have to store food as food, but simply create it from raw matter on demand, you could probably get rid of pests. If you're dealing with, say, a Firefly level of tech, though, you'll still have them. |
