For all those that do not see the problem with reactionless drives, etc.,
and can see the problem with missiles the size of a car, I propose that
TDW be created and pursued immediately (for REAL, not the Higginbotham way).
As I was never involved in the TDR discussions, I know of no real
objections to the MT 'thrusters' as described in Starship Operator's
Manual. If you can believe in Jump Drive, Psionics, and combat at 500,000
km, then reactionless drives are no problem. Ever here of negative
matter? It provides a much more believable rationale for thruster
physics than exists for Jump Drive physics. Science is all very well, but
don't let it get in the way of the *game*.
Anyway, TDW, let's go for it!!
