I am having thoughts on a low tech space game with a style like Space odysey 2001/2010 and was wondering what kind of weaponry could be available at that technology level.
- Fighters are very unlikely to exist due to the limited mobility.
- Boarding shuttles could be ok.
- Mines could work.
- Cannons will probably be mass drivers as beam weapons are alro unlikely to exist.
- Missiles could be OK.
It's also unlikely to have space vs planet weapons. Should have a landing then have ground battles.
My girl friend suggested Battle Star Galactica as another source of low tech ideas.
That is one option where ships are just transports. I could be more convenient to not have to fight space battles. Or ship combat could be only done with boarding.
Not sure, the Alien tech is much more advanced.
