[quote=@Apollo26] Not to be overly critical of you either Nak Nak but no being can survive ( or keep fighting after) getting hit by an AT missile or stepping on a mine, no matter how big it is. Just the kinetic energy of getting hit by a missile in flight would be enough to take off limbs, break bone or lodge itself in your body. The explosion afterward ( given that your soft body would even initate the primer) would be most likely a shaped charge, shooting molten whatever ( copper in RL cases) into whatever it hits. Thats why when Tanks like the infamous M1A2 Abrams gets hit by an RPG there is a small hole where the molten medal had bored into the tank ( Killing everything inside mind you). Even with shields, no matter how good they are, you will still feel every bit of that kinetic energy and be subject to what I like to call " the bulletproof vest effect". If you have ever seen someone take a rifle caliber round while wearing plates then you will notice that he doesn't just stand there and take the round to keep on fighting like a bad ass. You are knocked on your ass or picked up and thrown ( depending on how big the round is and how fast it is going). In this RP we are talking weaponized railgun speeds ( which ASTA can prob quote) but id imagine is pretty damn fast, with rounds that are comparable 50BMGs, 338 Lapua and 20mm shells. The same weaponized railguns in space would launch shells the size of Volkswagens or houses at blinding ( really scary) speeds while being paired with armor piercing, High explosive or even shaped charge warheads. Unless your ship has 20ft or some crazy amount of armor or some crazy shielding ( I still dont agree with the validity of ducks) this shell can literally turn your ship inside out from end to end. This is adding the effect of plasma weapons ( Burn and melt EVERYTHING), Laser based weapons ( burn and melt EVERRRYTHING, unless your ship is made out of mirrors) and other energy based weapons. No point defense turret will be able to defend against these either, you are not shooting a rail gun slug while its moving, the same with a plasma bolt or laser strike. Even torpedoes are a stretch ( Given Septonian torpedoes are magnetically accelerated), Missiles, drones, fighters, and other ( RELATIVELY) slow moving strikes can be targeted and destroyed by CWIS style point defense though. We are truly using some devastating weapons in space and on the ground, I would hope that everyone realizes this ( If and or when) another war/conflict kicks off. [/quote] .... I never really thought of that, it makes sense now, I have to be realistic X3 thanks for that =3 *edit right... one question, what about an artificial intelligence inside a robotic body, would that be able to survive/keep fighting if it got hit with an anti tank missile- wait, forget what I typed, it would most liekly be blown to smithereens now that I think about it, it's less than likely that the A.I. would survive let alone be able to keep fighting in it's destroyed body X3
