[Infinities][RFC] Unintended Results
 
#9
But don't forget that hardtech gravity stuff has some serious limits. Most Fen ships for example have an inertial compensator, which should work as a defense for most hardtech gravity attacks easily.

Gravity is a weak force compared to electromagnetism on a small distance, so its unlikely that gravity "slugthrowers" will be better than a nice electromagnetic coilgun in the near future.

The only thing that would need retcon in my oppinion is the hardtech implosion/micro-blackhole weapon from "We don't need that hammer..."

The energy need for doing this by pure hardtech should be insane. And the effect sounded more like one of these Dahakverse hyper-warheads... "make things go away with gravity side effects".
