![]() This would also change the Martian strategy to building massive laser battle stations on Phobos and Deimos to take advantage of the natural armour protection and huge heat sinks available, while seeding Martian space with Kineticstars to break the attacking formation with thousands of Soda Cans of Death (SCoDs) targeting the Terran laserstars. This also allows the laserstars to attack from multiple angles (since I assume a Ravening Beam of Death laserstar, this can happen from a light second away, with scorching attacks coming from even greater distances). I also see a fully developed constellation assuming a formation one light second in diameter, seeded with thousands of sensor drones to provide a highly detailed 3D view of the battlespace. This can be thought of as using an active sonar. If that is not advisable for tactical or treaty related reasons, then one of the laserstars will be using a "wide" beam to illuminate the enemy Hill sphere from a light hour to a light day away, looking for anomalous reflections. They can either boost large nuclear bombs well ahead of the fleet to detonate ahead of the constellation and illuminate the area with a massive pulse of radiation in all wavelengths (from X-ray to Infrared) to be analysed by sensitive scanners in the constellation. ![]() ![]() If the Terran navy believes stealth in space is an issue, they need to eliminate the possibility of the enemy using it on them. ![]() I start from a different set of assumptions based on Rocketpunk Manifesto's discussions, so any worked examples I come up with will be different, but I think I can import some ideas. ![]()
