In Response To: Re: Vacuum Combat (TimBranin)

: Yeah, that's pretty much how I figured it. In the story I included the zero-G
: element. Basically, the way I figure it, space ships entering battle
: situations would intentionally decompressed as a safty precaution against
: explosion.

Zero-G would also change things significantly. The force of firing a weapon would be very dangerous, as it would be hard to control the results. And a thousand fold for being hit with a projectile. Of course, these things occur anyway, but the results could be potentially more lethal when there is no gravity. Not that it would really matter for the individual who took a hit. Most living things would die within moments of having their suits breached, whether they were actually hit by a bullet or not. Of course, you know all this. Just ruminating on the possibilities.
