Nov 21, 2015 at 16:25 comment added Dronz This is very true. Efficiency and fuel conservation and feints may be more decisive in many situations, than speed. And again, decoys - if you can get the enemy to waste a lot of their fuel maneuvering against your decoys, then your actual forces may be able to get a decisive maneuver advantage over them.
Nov 20, 2015 at 4:10 comment added Jay In SF movies it's also common to see spacecraft bank into turns like an airplane, using air resistance to create a force shifting the direction of travel. Well of course in space it's not air resistance, so it must be ... ummm ... vacuum resistance? The mechanics of combat in a vacuum would be very different from the mechanics of air combat, a fact that seems to have escaped almost all makers of SF movies.
