thanatos355 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 conventional explosives (nukes included) do not work in space because the blast will follow the path of least resistence....and that is definately not through a ship. Essentially, the explosion will bounce off the target, with minimal damage. Inorder for such to work in space, it would be necessary to attatch the explosive to the hull, with the blast directed towards it, the effect is similar, but not as prominant in water. Do some research on frog men in WW2, you should find some information regarding this. i've seen plenty of history channel shows on frogmen and directional charges. great info and a great way to put it.

bbbb Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Why not be a department head or Chief Engineer of a starhip? Or if you want you can just be a lowly ensign for 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
