Description

SFCONSIM-L provides an unmoderated environment for discussion of science fiction conflict simulation games. The explicit purpose of SFCONSIM-L is to provide a platform for the discussion of published games, but discussion can range over the general topics of conflict simulation mechanics and design, military history, speculative fiction, physics and the sciences, tactics and strategy, historical conflict simulations, role-playing game backgrounds, unpublished or Internet-published games, game collecting, convention and club announcements, or any other topic potentially related to conflict simulation games in a science fictional setting. As is the case on all unmoderated lists, the discussion and topics are only limited by the participation and interest of its subscribers.

Re: Relativistic headlight effect and the CMB.
... Similar questions have come up in the context of drag on relativistic ships. The short version is that you'd have to go a hell of a lot faster than you
