Watching all the coverage of the war in Iraq, and how well our weapons have been working, got me to thinking.
Hypothetically, what type of weapons would Confed,or the Cats, use during an atmospheric bombing mission? JDAM, Joint Direct Attack Munitions, type weapons are satelite\GPS guided so they wouldn't be useful on a planet unless the satelites were already in place to guide them. Laser guided bombs would work alright, as long as there wasn't any bad weather or heavy haze to obscure the laser marker.
So what types of weapons do you think they would use, regularly? Would it be similar to what we have now, or possibly something new? Any ideas?
And how do you suppose they generate gravity on those ships?
