I told her I could have shared all of that with her long ago but she wasn’t ready to hear it
She then admitted that Charlie’s murder was the turning point for her and a lot of others
@LatigoMorgan @judgedread Just don't forget your flask to add some "spice" to your Coke👍
@ACL9000 One shot stop with a kinetic projectile is subject to random chance - how much solid matter is in its way when it hits? If the crew is lucky it passes through some (relatively) paper thin bulkheads and exits leaving a hole above the waterline. If they're unlucky it hits the engine room.

It's likely that the first hit seriously degrades ship defenses, at which point you better hope the enemy is short on missiles.
@AuntNorma Nah, only 'new' scifi books I've read are The Martian and Surface Detail. Maybe Accelerando, depending on when that came out.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Shlomo @thefinn Apparently some of these 'protesters' were so hopped up and cranked out on meth (Captagon?) that they died from OD before security forces could get to them

Glowniggers and Mossad not really sending their best
@MongoMonkey If the carrier is damaged badly enough to require a complete overhaul the enemy wins because we cannot afford.

Also those overhauls take years, what with the DIE hires they've put on the case.
A missile with a warhead can be prematurely detonated or damaged sufficiently to fuck up its precision targeting by antimissile systems.

A 10X hypersonic kinetic projectile... not so much.
@ACL9000 The claim is that the Aegis metalstorm defense can take out any incoming missile. It has never been tested against Russian hypersonics.
Panoptic inversion is coming for the brownoids.

I told you so.
If there were no ruling stratum civil war we'd be at war with Iran in earnest.

The occupation of Iraq was the OG uniparty's archetypal op.
