Re: Semi-OT: A question on Power Ratios in Sci-fi
Howdy folks new Tech questions:
Question 1: "Fusion Beam-AKA I-Laser" okay I was wondering if it is possible for an energy weapon to basically be so powerful that when it comes in contact with a physical material it is able to create an unstable fusion reaction (i.e a small fusion explosion).
Question 2: Okay so I know my shields are a little bizarre (I.e subspace wrapped around a ship) So how about this, a multi-layer shield system:
Layer one will be a "kinetic bubble" that pretty much uses the (gravity focusing generator) GFG to create a gravity field around the ship much like it does when it enters a warp point, except that this gravity field in normal space serves to slow down the incoming bullets to the point where they are no longer effective.
Layer two would consist of an energy field that renders what last kinetic force generated by the impact of a slug useless and provides protection against incoming energy fire.
Layer three is simple "rad shielding" to protect the ship from the high amounts of radiation that would no doubt be generated by space combat and energy weapons.
Okay now thanks to the nature of the energy shield when the energy of weapons and the shield collides you get a rather big "light show" basically as the two energies mix you get the occasional burn through that sends an errant strand of energy into the ships' hull causing damage.
