Default Re: Semi-OT: A question on Power Ratios in Sci-fi

Agent zero GREAT advice you too El Phil (and El sorry about my earlier pigheadedness I am just trying to get a harder sci-fi then say star trek but softer then this one series where it takes decades to get anywhere and where energy weapons and all the like are heat based like Lasers. (I know lasers are technically not "heat" but they do tend to melt and burn rather then tear and explode whatever they hit).

And I thought gravitons were another Star Trek technogidgit like their "Tachyon scanner" and "Phase Cloak" stuff, I guess I learn something new every day

Well SJ the thing is I suppose after a while I-laser would just get shortened further to IL or I-Las (that has a nice ring to it, say it with me Eye-Laz lol) so I guess you have a point to that terminology is subjective to who's using it and when.

BTW anyone ever heard of Induction weaponry? I tried a google search and got jackloads of porn (I dont know how Induction + Weaponry= Teen nudist camp but hey) so anyone got any idea of what exactly an "Induction Weapon" is and how it works?

I can't remember what sci-fi I heard/saw/read it from but it sounded strange as when I hear "Induction" I think "being brought in on" or "being initiated".
