Hey, I've always wondered this- I don't know much about theoretical high powered lasers, but whenever i'm watchin sci-fi movies i can't help but wonder this:
If people are having laser battles, what would stop people from just having super reflective mirrored ships (or deployable shells) that just reflect the lasers off of them>>?:OMG:
Also, whats so hard about aiming a laser at someones ship? whats with all these people "missing" their laser targets????? YOU'RE FIRING A LASER! you can't outrun or outmaneuver a laser!
the best rendition of sci-fi lasers i've seen are the instant effect ones. off the top of my head, i can think of the beam-lasers in the old game Forsaken that was a console game. these lasers seemed plausible to me as how an actual laser weapon would work.
