You played "Children of a Dead Earth"? In fact everyone here should play it if they haven't already

How realistic really is Children Of A Dead Earth?

Anyone play Coade? Probably not as realistic as advertised but still interesting.

In terms of weapons: missiles with fragmentation warheads and drones with conventional guns (so you can have light drones without heavy power supplies and radiators) are the way to go.

If you want capital (manned) ship to ship combat then railguns firing very small (>1g) projectiles at very high speeds is the way to go. Any decent armor will vaporize the projectile before it does much damage but you can basically just sandblast off any sensors, radiators and weapons off your opponent before he gets in range. If he hides them behind armor then you've got him locked down in a passive stance. Lasers can do much the same but they require huge radiators which make you a much bigger target.
