| Description | |||||||||||||||
| Even as we explore new forms of weapons with which to protect our interests in space, we would be foolish to abandon the humble missile. While a missile can be out-run or dodged far more easily than most other weapons, it has the singular advantage that it can pursue an enemy craft, and will deliver the same payload regardless of distance. In order to successfully overwhelm any point-defense system intended to ward off our missiles, our engineers have focused their efforts in two directions. The first is mass; our ships will need to carry many, many missiles, so a new, lightweight construction mitigates that issue somewhat. Secondly, there is computing and targeting; we will need systems to ensure that our missiles fire and converge from multiple and unpredictable directions, and 'understand' which areas of a ship to best target. By comparison, our new missiles' multispectral guidance systems proved relatively straightforward. It is, after all, hard to lose track of something as noisy (in terms of thermal, visual, and radio output) as a manned spacecraft. | |||||||||||||||
