Hard SF is the soul of my character. I'll defend it as such.
SF...
Science-_______. Anyone care to fill in the blanks here?
It's fiction. Science-Fiction. That said, you could be like: "Well my character has a string theory manipulator. He can phase between dimensions as a form of evading large attacks. It might LOOK like he's still there, but that's residual imaging from the dimensional transfer. He's actually in _____ dimension."
Can you put physics to that? Not really. As while string theory denotes the existence of many dimensions, one cannot simply manipulate it to do what you want. So being a twat about "BUT IT WAS THIS MANY MEGATONS! EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY SAYS THIS! ANTIPROTONS ARE MY FAP MATERIAL!" gives you no more of a leg to stand on in regard to science fiction as me saying cats are a liquid does.

Frankly, the trolling should have been immediately obvious as soon as you agreed with me.
Actually, I was agreeing with you. The cat thing was the trolling.

the effectiveness of this is brought into serious question by the very idea behind orbital assets, which basically paint space as the ultimate high-ground
