Subject: FT-Kinetic strikes
Reading about the Albedo, the kinetic strikes bit made me think about planets/colonies, and orbital forts. The first is that I could see virtually every planet having a minimum defence force of at least some non-ftl ships to prevent someone like a pirate coming in and holding a planet to ransom against the threat of C fractional strikes. The other thing is relating to forts, and I could see these designed with some drive (say 0.2 thrust) so they can change their orbits, and prevent a pridictable orbit where a enemy can throw a C fractional strike against the target where it cannot dodge.
