  1. I'd rather keep vessel unharmed by DEWs and shockwaves. When it comes to propulsion, I'll stick with chemical rockets, ion engines and solar sails.
  2. Hello there, Bright Minds. I'm writting a sci-fi universe with fantasy elements and one of my goals is to make it as scientifically correct as I'm able. One of the aspects is obviously space combat. Fuel is crucial aspect, so vessels cannot be too heavy thus no extensive armour is possible. Following course of thoughts pushed me toward force fields of some sort. After lurking around the Internet a little bit, I've learned about Boeing force field-ish concept, and I'd really like to apply similar one but in vast vacuum of space. But the issue is vacuum itself. No transient medium present required in real life concept, so no temporary plasma shield against shockwave. Also, I'm curious if it would be possible to scatter or redirect DEW beams via electromagnetic or other mean. Brief search of other topics didn't provide any information to my question, but if I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a link or two. Cheers! _______________________________ DEW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon Boeing "Force Field" http://www.sciencealert.com/boeing-has-patented-a-plasma-force-field-to-protect-against-shock-waves PS I am really sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes, I'll appreciate correcting me.
  3. That's why I try to mimic many schemes from our world. Technologies on Enulus (Earth-like planet in my universe) are mostly our cutting-edge ones with my assumptions how they will develop in near future.
  4. It is mainly to my own entertainment and to keep my brain fresh. I'll publish it online as universe, for other, more talented writers to place their stories in it. But I've never tought about making real money with it. If I ever will, I'll be seriously surprised. I'm not aiming to make it fantasy "The Martian", I'm not such a bright-mind, tough still, I'd try to put dragons in ecosystem which could sustain them. In other words, my goal is universe as plausible as I'm able to create.
  5. Thank you for replies guys. Planets from the closest one to Sun-like star: -Super hot terrestial planet with super dense atmosphere with lava lakes and high volcanic activity. -Terrestial planet with sponge-like structure, tidally locked, one moon. -Gas giant with ring, numerous moons (Other question here, would it be possible - with sufficient technology - to harvest hydrogen and helium from gas giant's atmosphere?) -Earth-like planet with two moons, two large continents, mostly covered with ocean (I'm concerned about ocean's behaviour with two moons) -Cool terrestial planet, crust mostly composed from copper compounds (complete abstraction?) -System's dense asteroid ring. -Large ice-giant with handful of moons but with one large one (about 1/2 Earth's diameter). That moon would have surface temperatures above water's freezing point due to geothermal activity and giant's Kelvin-Helmholtz mechanism. @AbstractDreamer I'm making decent use of this freedom, but it annoys me how classical fantasy puts physics into complete disregard and explains everything with "Ancent Magic", "Mighty Forces" or "Primeval Evil". I want elves, dwarfs and griffins but with prosthetics, weak AIs, smartphones and common VTOL aircrafts. With actual explanation why humans and elves fight, why world is divided like it is and take my time to refine every detail. When I'll finish working on version in my native language I'll probably try to translate it into english, but for now there is still lots to do.
  6. Hello there. I'm creating a fictional near sci-fi universe and one of my main goals is to make it as plausible as possible. One of my main concerns is planetary system tough. I'm not convinced if it could by any means exist in reality. Searching this topic gave little-to-none results, so I'm here now, asking greater minds than mine, what's the most common planetary layouts out there. What limits ammount and size of celestial body in one system circling around a star similar to Sun. Cheers!
