But exploding people doesn't bother you..?

Yeah of course exploding people in RL bothers me because it's still terrible but at least when you explode you ain't hurting much and it's a LOT better then feeling parts of your body melting LITERALLY inch by inch ain't it? I'd rather not see anyone die of any kind of bullet though.

Good point about fighter combat  assuming they'd have weapons powerful enough to hurt a capital ship's shields/armor or whatever.
