I know it's an insane book that requires a lot of math, but I've always had fun tinkering with GURPS Vehicles in my spare time. I've been wondering, though, if anyone has ever modified the GURPS Vehicles rules for creating weaponry to fit the other weapon types in Ultra Tech, so that vehicles can have things like custom Electrolasers or Gyroc guns. If it doesn't exist, I might just try to work on it myself, but I'd love to know if someone out there has already done the work for me.
So, I just learned of this concept while trying to find info about energy weapons being developed. I'm making this a self-post because most of the articles about it are from 2012, so it's 'old news'.
I'm curious as to whether anyone knows more about this concept and can pitch in. It sounds particularly devastating compared to the 10-150 kilowatt lasers that are also in production. Does anyone see military organizations making use of this kind of weaponry in the 'near' future, say within 10-15 years? Would weapons like these be banned by parts of the Geneva protocols that ban the use of lasers against human targets? Are there any practical downsides to using this kind of weapon?

So, i did this without disassembling it, i hope it holds up well overtime, but if not, i think it looks good enough i can make wear and tear into character rather than just a fucked paintjob.
Nothing is sticky though so yay, i am happy with it. 😊
Thomas was a fairly easy-going guy. Had a dog named Sparkles, hunted down those with bounties, had more nanites in his body than most of the aliens in the Union had total mass, was vaguely aware of, and as such both nervous and excited about, the progress of PRD, ate a fair bit more than a normal person and as such had a larger than usual hydroponics and meat-growing system on his ship than typical for a one-person ship, tried to minimize collateral damage, rather liked lamb.
Flalmf, on the other hand, was shaped roughly like an anthropomorphic squirrel just with a less bushy tail and looked like the very epitome of innocence who wouldn't harm a fly. He was pretty much a 2d fairy-tale villain. His whole schtick was to carefully cut to pieces his victims before sewing them back together inside out and hanging them someplace public. He was also quite talented at constructing traps, and at personal combat. He'd only been active for a week, and the authorities of the station had already decided it would be cheaper, easier, and safer, to just put a bounty on the butcher.
Thomas's ship clipped back into regular reality, pre-warp speed still a hefty .298c. After all, FTL engines multiply speed, not add to it. His ship was fairly small, so it was perfectly fine landing in a hangar of the station rather than docking externally. He had his clock speed at 100 perceived seconds per second, after all, it's best practice to be at least a little on alert when exiting warp. He looked at the path of the vessels relatively nearby and foresaw a possible collision between two of them within the next 49.817 or so seconds. He connected to the station's traffic control VI, or in other words, pilfered the highest level of admin credentials for every system in the station, looked over the VI, and made a subtle temporary change.
Actually getting the VI to update took about 16 times as long as gaining access to it. Among humans, such an incredibly simple and easily blocked cyber-attack as the one he had launched would be equivalent to poking someone to get their attention, or simply announcing your presence to a room.
He lowered his clock speed and stared into space for a second. In actuality, the remaining 49.812 seconds from when the hypothetical collision would've taken place passed. The two vessels passed by each other ever so slightly more distantly than they would've otherwise, and a short while thereafter Thomas pulled into a hangar, resetting his clock speed to his defau

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer
I am currently in the hospital. I had a back operation yesterday. The surgical nurse came in my room and started asking questions about my back. She asked me if I had any falls during the last year. I responded just one. It was after summer.
She laughed and said in 20 years of doing this she never was told that joke.
..... Will get a reward.
Because they work on many levels

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.
The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!
Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
