@phenidone @KarlSchroeder @hendric @isaackuo @cstross @sudnadja @nyrath @FredKiesche one reason I like The Expanse & Honor Harrington novels: they each make effort to portray realistic space fleet combat... that still has drama & still has sparkly sci-fi

long ago I tried making a 2D space combat sim with realisticish physics... from a "fun play" perspective? the horrors, the horrors... debris became a real problem. large exploded ships becomes huge number of tiny fast friendlyfire projectiles
