Physics PhD Candidates take on Space Battles

Follow the link, I found it an enjoyable article.

Us having FTL and such makes it fairly unimportant to our roleplay, but I gleaned a few things I may use in the future.

[member="Harmon Taldan"] I don't know if you watch the Expanse, but I feel like that show has a pretty accurate representation of how space battles would go.

Now back to this verse, the thing that kills me is how ships always line up on the same plane, duking it out like battleships in water. I like to take advantage of the space to show up at different angles to take advantage of the poor positioning of enemy guns.

I find Project Rho to be a more in depth view of things. They also do the math. Definitely worth checking out for covering a lot of different apsects of space travel and space warfare.
