There is no way to stealth ships if we agree with any semblance of known physical reality. Even if we shift the whole damn thing into the "ether" like Hawking's little particle pairs, it will still leave a radiation signature like a giant uranium strobe light. Plus the crew would die. Let me make this simple: There are no stealthy ships. There are no stealthy ships. There are no stealthy ships. Please, people. Write this down on the blackboard until it sinks in. <

[quote]I say this is complete speculation and based on nothing but current technology & research and looking to the past. To dispute the above 3 issues for example, I can think of the following theoretical technologies: - stealth will be possible through "fazing" out of our universe into an alternate one.(Replace universe with dimension or whatever you like.) - active defenses such as shields, defensive lasers/plasma cannons/etc., space change weapons(that expand or contract sp

There will never be a war in space, period. It's like nuclear war (in fact, it probably would be nuclear war). No matter what defensive measures you dream up, be it stealth, force-shields, or giant armoured battlecruisers, there will always be a way for one side to completely obliterate the other. Assuming our space culture is based on planets, you are twenty different kinds of screwed. Let's face it, there's no way to move your planet out of the way if anyone decides to shoot warhea
