[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 7904751, member: 6920677"] Sure, but TV networks do not make budget decisions on sci-fi shows based off hard science. It also depends on material science advances, perhaps Serenity is bulletproof on the inside.🤓 In Battletech/Mechwarrior, I always thought it silly that people put down the full auto machine gun for the monomolecular vibroblade for boarding actions. If the dropship can survive a PPC blast, then that battle rifle is quite a bit safer than that vibroblade vis vis creating a vacuum. As an aside we on this board most likely not really know what the future of human involved boarding actions in space do and will actually look like. I’m sure most people do not envision lockers full of sabers by airlocks, ala Traveller, when you ask them to speculate on the new USA Space Farce for example. [/QUOTE]
