Design: Venture exterior view

[CELS]

I'm none the wiser. Since this is actually a thread devoted to more artistic pursuits, I'll just bow my head in surrender, as I have never studied physics and have only a vague understanding of the difference between terms such as 'speed' and 'velocity'. I still don't understand Kage's point, and I do maintain that the idea of 'combat speed' is appropriate even in space, but I do acknowledge that I am talking to more knowledgeable people here. I'll stick to making things pretty.

Indeedy... I just know how these things work, but leave the specifics to those that have studied it in the past 10 years.

Erm, which is an aside, I guess.  Assuming that the relative velocity is within certain parameters - which I suppose you could call it combat speed - missiles will work.  Sorry if I got mired in the complexities at the sake of the discussion.
