Re: Real Space Combat Help:

OK, I did the math.
5% of Lightspeed (C) is 49,104,000 FPS -or- 9300 Miles Per second
So let's  scale back to 1% of lightspeed -or-1860 MPS

I think that's achievable given tech of the 2050-2075 era.
And it's still pretty horrifying in terms of impact energy even with 
small projectiles. Given a head-on engagement you get the added bonus 
of the target's velocity added to the equation!
