Alright Tef, the girls Sashaying again, good job, uphold the tradition, ... ;-) TTFN

A one liner final page, know it happens with Literotica but what a shocker. Got to move on.

SyFi at it's best.

Burning ships, nope. Not enough oxygen. The explosive torpedoes that get fired have explosives that contain just enough oxygen and explosive cuel in the chemical mkx to explode. No excess oxygen. Titanium doesn’t really burn and almost any powdered metal in the presence of pure oxygen and the powder is shaken up so it’s floating will explode with a spark. In fact that’s how flour mills and grain silos explode.

However in space with at best 18% oxygen in a ship and the ships being depressurised after a big battle and losing will mean no fires. At least nothing that lasts, sure a few rooms and various ares in the ship might remain sealed and could burn but if they are sealed and therefore intact why would that part be burning?

Titanium turbine blades at over 1000°c in gas turbine engines run in the presence of compressed air and burning fuel for thousands of hours and never ever burn not even Little bit.

I have been awaiting Tef's introducing "Fireships" into one of his space battles... Similar to the old Wooden Sailing Ships of centuries past, those Titanium starships from centuries in the future are quite flammable! Now Titanium's powdered form is the most flammable, but in a space battle with high energy beams and explosives all over the place... especially when the T-Fed fights against the Kintark with their plasma (flame) cannons, you would expect more burning ships... Titanium just seems a little too dangerous to be the T-Fed's primary spacecraft building material... I suppose by the 28th century they might have found a way to process Titanium to lower the risk, but wouldn't military weapons overcome those altered Titanium alloys? Anyway, I would appreciate a word or twenty on why it's safe for the Terran's to use this material at all... Thank you... ;-) TTFN
