Our first mass-produced energy weapon...
...Now I want a mars colony!
And a peace treaty across the entire world. Cause I'm kinda scared right now.

I want to meet the poor buggers in the DARPA acronym department. There's that and MAHEM. They work so hard at contrived acronyms there, the poor lambs.

Look at the tonnage on that thing... only 0.00075kT! Someone over at Malfador needs to look into miniaturization technology!

OT in an OT thread... It irritates me recently that medical studies are doing this too. I can't think of a good one off the top of my head, but various drug companies are doing trials like STAR and PROTEC and others to make them "catchy" so that if they pan out, they have a good name to refer to when they try to corner the market in hypertension (or whatever). Of course, if it busts, you never hear about it

What I do know is that when this country releases some 'Top Secret' craft, weapon or project, they generally have something better that they are working on!

Try Carrier Battles mod for intense missile interceptor action.
P&N mod allows the really large fighters to carry stock-like PD weapons too.

Re: OT Interesting news item
But how practical would this weapon be in conditions such as a cloud bank?

Re: OT Interesting news item
A cloud bank? Probably not very much.
Pretty much any sort of particulate cloud does bad things to lasers.

Re: OT Interesting news item
So if an enemy fighter is attacking with lasers, it would be good to fly into a cloud.
