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

As a wise man once said "The best way to kill is overkill." or something to that effect either way the military tends to like overkill weapons for a reason they not only ensure the job gets done but they scare the holy bejezzers out of anyone who is in front of them lol

Thats like explosive bullets definately overkill yet they are the "wave of the future" lol

And no "waste of munitions" as the ship isn't firing off munitions it's just using energy which reactors can replace which is another good reason for all my ships to have mini reactors in the turrets

Waste of munitions comes into play if I decided to use solid shot however, not to mention THAT would require money and the need ot buy more ammunition while with an energy weapon you buy it once pay for maint work and it's there for ever (until it's blown up)
