See comment by drcovell about using just the kinetic energy of a projectile launched a 1/1000th of *C* - a 100 gram projectile traveling at *1 million+ KPH* wouldn’t need antimatter to punch through several thousand feet of any known armor, unless it has a density approaching neutronium!
Second rule in interstellar war! Take their technology! Physics is physics, at this point reverse engineering and intergrating should be a standard survival practice. Suicide drones and detector drones should be Earths first line of defense. AKA the current war around Isreal. Think about it, many billions of suicide drones in the Ort, Kuiper and Astroid belts waiting to attack an invading fleet. Even if attacking out of the solar ring they will need to close with the solar ring and thus become vulnerable to drone attack. FYI captial ships will ALWAYS have a fleet / squadron commander an Admiral AND a ship's Captain, normally a Commodore (equal to Brigadier). Smaller squadrons, with no captial ships, can be commanded by a Commodore. Names change but lgoic the same.
That does actually sound reasonable to me since distances are vast in space, even in our solar system. Our sun's light takes 67 minutes to reach Saturn, to which Titan is a moon. At these distances it is close to impossible to detect anything that, one way or another, doesn't scream "here i am".
Why is it that a majority of these sci-fi stories always have hostile insectoids with clicking mandibles? Are they the predominate lifeform in the galaxy? Gets old fast.."clicking mandibles, clicking mandibles, etc., etc., ad nauseum...smh
Ive noticed that a lot also. I wonder if there is an etiquette on the sub that wants it. I doubt it, but the frequency does make me wonder. It's not in the rules as far as i can tell
It's because AI doesn't actually any imagination, but generates a "story" based on prior material. Thus certain styles, usages and phrases, not to mention plot line, repeat
You might suppose that any hull or force-field, that would be capable of deflecting or absorbing random meteorites at FTL speeds, would be more than capable of handling projectiles from fire arms, wouldn’t you?😊
FINALLY a non-European name! Also, you can do better than a “Fraction of the Speed of Light: The web has numerous online converters for every type of measurement ! For example, if launched at 1/1000th of *C* the projectiles will be moving at *1 million KPH* (plus change). What is the *range* in this space battles? Is it a million kilometers? If so, a well-focused projectile would not lose ANY of its energy in that one second, while all energy weapons would attenuate according to the inverse square law: Kinetics just make sense! 😉
Always funny to listen to these videos where xenos say physical weapons are relics and garbage and its so funny because physical weapons are almost always better then energy there only down side is they need something to fire so i can see why they arent used alot
Sorry, but go home, this crumpled at the latest after the first skirmish and everybody tries to make nice, coordination blahblahblubs is not what happens after a military confrontation and captains in control of fleets, battleships or carriers? Seriously? That hasn't really happened since WW2, where ALL carriers had an admiral in command and all around most battleships as well. Oh and to note: A Naval captain is the equivalent rank of a full bird colonel, otherwise known as OF-5 and the highest rank attainable short of being a flag officer, as in Admiralty / Generality. IF you want to more or less copy existing rank structures similar to NATO, EDUCATE yourself, dammit. Otherwise, you have to establish your own system, in that case, be careful with exposition bombs, nobody likes those. In case you Captain was intended to be the "Hero Ship" you wanted to focus on, you failed. Things like that are especially hard to pull off in a large battle where your dear captain is not the overall commander. You'd have to focus on a smaller portion of the battle to be nearer the POV of said captn. and give a general overview of how the overall battle is coming along another way and probably less detailed, again - to make it clear who the focal point of your story is.
@@RonaldTrumpOfficial Eh, didn't even pay that level of attention tbh. Maybe you're right, but there are also a lot of amateur stories out there read by an AI and they can make a fairly amusing hackjob of them, especially if there are names with [ ` ´ ' ] or something along those lines in it.
It's amazing how you know absolutely NOTHING about how a battle works, especially space battles that take place on a battlefield of millions of miles. Do you really think a space war is not going to function the same way an equivalent battle occurred on Earth? Space battles are more than likely to be exactly like a WWII battle as direct confrontation is far more useful than remote battle. Space battles are more akin to naval battles of WWII than they are like ground skirmishes in the modern day. This is because space battles are generally going to be in a fluid medium, in effect.
@@protoborg NOBODY knows how a battle in space would really work, because we don't have the technology. The best I've seen so far in Sci-Fi was The Expanse and Babylon 5 as a reference point. However, I'm not lamenting the battle, I'm lamenting that the soldiers "in the field" are immediately hugging and singing kumbajah around the holographic campfire. Lets assume a best outcome scenario after a shootout with an Alien species, you stop shooting and withdraw into your own territory, then exchange diplomats, not send the people who were actively shooting at each other a minute ago. That, and the gross non-understanding of military ranks is what rankles me.

It’s crazy how the enemy faction changed names 3 times within the space of 20 seconds
any armour can be defeated if you apply enough kinetic energy
We need a sci-fi story where humans use cannons to shoot antimatter shells.
I think that would be awesome
I think It already exists
Photon torpedo from Star Trek.
Cannon shot with lithium ion atomic bomb

Aliens made it all the way into the solar system...to Titan! ... without being detected?

It was on a Sunday, the Radar must have been turned off, like when Pearl Harbor was attacked ...

They need to start using Osmium bullets, even more dense than tungsten.
Why do they always fire at poor ole Will?
Why are there few or no male officers in the battle.
How many are there? About a Zillion
Chyane mt.! Stargate command lives again LETS GO!!! :😀

Black rock
These AI stories are just so... lifeless. How can anyone enjoy this?
In reply to all the insectoids how do you know there aren't a lot of insectoids out there?

Nope.
Luckily, I watched this at work at 1.25 playback, so it wasn't a total waste of time.
So what is this exactly? A made up sci-fi story told in a video (sortoff) ? Ok. But told by a boring a.i voice?
Woke BS woven into SCI-FI I have seen it all. I hope we realize aliens will be just as fed up with this type of discussion as humans are 😂
Took the words out of my mouth, 90% of the fleet is made up of Spanish women.........
