Indeed. You'd need something fairly large to take out an SD by wedge interpenetration. Going off the official chart in Ashes of Victory: A counter missile needs to be about a tenth the size of what's being taken out, so about 150 meters long for an SD. Apparently counter missiles have...

https://honorverse.fandom.com/wiki/Impeller_drive You can put it on man-portable rocket launchers though the smallest one that can turn itself on and off instead of being a one-shot is on a 270 ton drone.

That is another issue with the setting and the idea that direct-fire SDs have any place on the battlefield to be sure.

I'm aware of the tech, but several of your claims below are simply untrue. Bullshit. Reliant class Battlecruiser: 52 Missile tubes, 32 counter-missile launchers, 32 point-defense mounts, 16 grasers Gryphon class Superdreadnought: 40 Missile tubes, 28 counter-missile tubes, 30 point-defense...

I hadn't thought about it that way, I just saw it as a sign of decadence on the part of wizards. I've written and drafted on parchment before (Vellum specifically) and it's amazing. I'd use it all the time if I could afford it.

One that bugs me I was reminded of recently is the Honor Harrington series. We're told early on that Battlecruisers are primarily missile platforms while Dreadnoughts are primarily direct energy platforms. Missiles outrange direct energy by a large margin. Battlecruisers are significantly...

Let's see, for starters inflation. It doesn't exist. Okay, so a C-Bill isn't fiat, it represents a millisecond of interstellar communications, but still it's odd that it keeps the exact same value (10-11 dollars US) throughout several hundred years. And nothing changes in price. The first...

Pretty much this. From my limited exposure to Goblin Slayer the biggest thing that stood out to me was how you had so many goblins, yet the houses and towns had no walls, no pungi sticks, no apparent effort to make any kind of static defense that would help protect from them. At the least I'd...

I haven't read Goblin Slayer past the first issue, didn't like the themes, but from reading discussions I'm under the impression that the setting makes no sense. The author is aware of this, and the gods of the setting who are using it as a personal DnD game are deliberately altering the...
