[QUOTE="payn, post: 8721659, member: 90374"] From what I know of Expanse: It's seems without advanced tech, it's very difficult to hide a ship from sensors. Part of this is ships all over communicating, stations in the belt and on moons, etc... You need to be in deep space or hiding behind a large object like a moon or planet to avoid detection. So, typically there is no[I] "surprise you didnt me coming!" [/I] The missiles they fling at one another do seem to have their own propulsion system. Those in ships that can do 5,10+ G in thrust can potentially out run them and their fuel, problem is humans being able to withstand that force on their bodies for a prolonged period (missiles have unlimited thrust G, as no worry about killing anybody from the force). Usually doesn't work out for the runners. Some ships (mostly war ships) have point defense cannons. These weapons fire slugs rapidly to try and take out the incoming missiles before they can hit their target and detonate. Most warship battles seem to be one of attrition. Keep firing at each other until one side gets through or runs out of ammo. Few ships are equipped with rail guns. Also, some bases, moons, and other stationary places will have them for defense. As you figure they toss large chunks at super high velocities. Very nasty to get hit by them, especially if they hit the drive section. [/QUOTE]
