Still a long way off before this could be really effective in any combat situation but this is definitely a nice concept more work we need to be done on the effective range and obviously the size haha there is no hiding that thing. And as always EMP proofing the weapon would need to be done as well. Maybe we will see something in the next 10yrs that is solid.
This just boggles my mind as I played Traveller in the early eights and the game must have been written in the mid 70s, so the creators of the game must have done some deep research to write about a weapon system that was probably just hypothetical 45+ years ago.
Never knew Space Viking was inspiration for the game.
Yeah, there are some good books in that list. In turn, Traveller was a big influence on Bell and Braben.
I would definitely say that their more than a hint of Traveller in Elite but I did read that Braben denied it in an interview a few years ago when asked.
