space combat will be paramount.

I believe this to be true in modern day fleets.  I am sure fuel and energy
usage are calculated into a mission.

Many of the hypotheses which some of you have thrown out contradict the
logical mathematical realities, which is upon what much of space combat
would be based.

If you take a look at the history of technology, it is filled with
contradictions of said logical mathematical realities.

One only has to possess a basic understanding of physics and know the
necessary equations to
understand this.

I think the true romance of science fiction is that anything is possible
and to use a famous quote, I'm sure we've all heard before "Where there's a
will, there's a way."

and that's my two bright shiny pennies :^D
