Normal human time scale. The projectiles have jump drives. When a object jumps it retains its momentum.

So basically they have these projectiles traveling at 30% of light, with the ability to jump into position to strike a target.

Well that answers my second question, which was how something could orbit at 200 times orbital speed.

The answer is there was never any orbit.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

They have jump drives homie, when they start to escape they can jump back

Also speed wouldn't be an issue if the orbit is extremely extremely elliptical.

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Nah, this is 200 times escape velocity, there is no possible orbit at that speed, just careening out to another galaxy, floating endless in the galactic cluster, or leaving the cluster altogether.

Any orbit would take millions of years anyway, so they can just cruse around, ingoring orbit altogether.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

There isn't if you don't have a jump drive. It's it a natural orbit, no. It's a highly modified orbit using technology we don't not have and cannot fully understand even in the books the method is not fully explained.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
