Re: True Solar Sails
I would like to have a Ground based laser facilty. Using this would give a boost to the sail's movement. It would also allow it to work in systems with no stars You would still need a planet, so there would still need to be a star there except for special cases.
Hmmmm. Remote beamed supplies. Interesting.
I could also see them operate in pairs. One could be destroyed to "Fold it up" and have it not have the movement or the defense penalty. Organic armor ability could then "Unfold" it.
