I just got an idea for a future R&D for myself, and I think it'll be a huge game changer on the ground.

*BraveSirRobin begins frantically researching advanced ground combat technology in the hopes of figuring out what Aragonn has planned*

I shall dominate the battlefield with mass numbers and great vehicles

No amount of armor on your vehicles can repel 10 cm railgun fire. I shall wolf pack you to death! And Ballistae firing subsonic ballistic shells will decimate your "numbers".

Well time to create kinetic shields

All shields can be overwhelmed. And we Aesir love our big guns.

As long as my stuff can fire back without exploding like the death star! Of course there's going to be a lot of damage in the epic battles of Sci-Fi.

Also I added some Weapons to my tech.

Also, now I have like a million types of shields. One for space, one for radiation, and one for ground crap XD

Just updated my military/tech section of my Factbook. I should be able to take some hits from a railgun now

Invention

It's a plasma shield

Plasma shields are great against explosions because it stops the shockwave from reaching you, but unless you have actual heated plasma that can vaporize anything upon contact which I doubt, it's not going to stop my railguns.

Tau, am I correct?

Hmmm... Scientists! Get working on plasma guns!

The railguns are the reason why I've got the plasma disruptors.

Why would you target the relatively small projectiles coming at you at Mach 7 when you could be targeting the big ship that's firing those projectiles at you?

Is there any information on sci-fi melee weapons? I'm finding it hard to search some up. I don't want vibroblades because they apparently explode when touching electricity.

...Perhaps because there are projectiles coming at me at Mach 7....  XD 

        ...but rest assured that the disruptors would also be firing at the big ships, too.

Other than a Bat'leth?

Use power weapons like I do.

Particle shields are implied in Star Wars, except on starfighters.

Runabouts do generally have larger engine than most traditional shuttlecraft. I think that's why they're faster than normal shuttlecraft

But normal shuttlecraft are way smaller. Like, some of them are only 5 m long.

Bump @BraveSirRobin

I assumed that since runabouts are faster and larger than shuttlecraft, and normal ships are faster and larger than runabouts, that something larger than a runabout should also be faster.

Yeah, the really small shuttlecraft aren't equipped with warp cores though... And to address your other question about a 50-m ish ship, if say that it'd be faster if it had an engine considerably larger than that of a runabout.  In warp tech, bigger engines=faster ship, usually regardless of other mass, on ships below 2,500 m, generally. (2.5 km is a rough estimate though—I only say that because most ships larger than that are slower than the Enterprise D in the show, with the exception of a couple of Borg cubes...)
