To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Real surprised to see someone with a working prototype, the only place I had ever heard of this was in the RPG Traveller.

Yes, it looks like the future sci-fi weapons just got a lot closer.

It's a bug hunt. 😀Â
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. Â
This Wiki page may be of interest. Good to see Hammer's Slammers in there.
Never knew Space Viking was inspiration for the game.
At the end of the video, a very Terminator looking gun, wonder if it's the production one which is mentioned.

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.

After my experience with ED, I wouldn't trust anything that man says!
Would be interesting to hear what Bell has to say on the subject as I seem to recall reading that he played Traveller.
Version 2 of the sci-fi gun.😎Â
