Larry Niven
does a good job of using
plain vanilla
science fiction archetypical technology
for
military
applications.
Examples include
:
the use of a powerful
comms laser
as a
weapon
Chasing in 2
identical
ships, each ship can use its comms laser to heat up the other's
shield
. If sufficient power can be directed, the ships will gradually
heat up
. There is an advantage in being the first one to use this tactic.
fusion drive
as a weapon
You shouldn't use your
fusion
drive inside an
atmosphere
, or over a
big city
, say. But what happens
if you do?
