Actually, what BKrani was saying re: computers doing most of the work in combat makes me think he's going w/ a combat model similar to Haldman's (sp?)
The Forever War; the crews of ships would go lay in funky acceleration creches, get pumped full of wierd chemicals, and spend several weeks in wet storage w/ an increased body mass/density (<-???<-I can't remember) while their computer jinxed the ship hither, thither, and yon to dodge all the fun treats the other guys' ship was throwing at it (while throwing its own junk back, of course).
