Ms Paint strikes again!
*applause*
Or we could just uninstall the drop point.
They couldn't get us then.
I don't think we could, and even if we did, we would also incidentally seal ourselves off from the rest of the universe.
ACTIVATE RECALL FUNCTION: Bluesmokes cause someone to become more logical and intuitive. Longtime smokers have been known to have almost precognitive intuition, but no regard for their own safety.
So, if you smoke them long enough, you're basically the same but with precognition? And lung cancer?
What do fighters do better than, or exclusively related to, larger ships? Answer this, and you get a reason for fighters in a setting.
The only possible advantages are maneuverability (which of course makes fuel tanks need to be significantly bigger in harder science fiction), maybe being harder to hit, and probably being cheaper (possibly enough to swarm?). They're probably best-suited to near-suicide missions, like assaulting Death Stars.
That, and as orbital defense vehicles or somesuch. Maybe a version for helping with the point defense of larger vessels?
While doing so, it has no physical presence in the way we know it (could expand on it, but won't, would take too much time). However, it keeps going until it either runs out of fuel or it gets pulled out of the jump. This is because everything that has mass sends out a 'gravity field', the more mass the bigger the field. And the chance (and distance from the object) of an object forcing you out of jump increases with both your and his mass. The distance at which a ship is forced out of jump isn't always the same though, but follows a probabilistic approach, like a bell curve.
Is this "gravity field":
A. something sensors can detect?
B. the only way things in phasespace or whatever interact with the world?
C. actually a gravitational field?
And for that matter, can the gravity fields of two phasing ships interact?
Also amp weapons. Automanipulators might be able to be used instead, but I think the abilities of a space wizard shouldn't be discounted- especially if you modified the fighter to enhance space magic in the same way as the Avatar of War.
That's an interesting thought... space based avatars...
Another synthflesh spaceship? Only, more intended for the rigors of space?
Whatever happened to our first human spaceship?
