Some fun stuff, well, if you like that sort of thing. I'm an engineer and therefore allowed to find it interesting. :)

Eve Tribune is a rag. I'd rather read the Daily Mail...

[Ryvita]

But the science is meaty and juicy! :)

[Aardvark]

Not really.

The speed stuff is ok, but Compton scattering doesn't 'require an atmosphere', merely that there be matter present. Its target should serve that role nicely...

Railguns: well he completely skips the fact that seeing as we're IN SPACE a railgun volley is going to send you flying in the opposite direction. Nice.

Lasers on armor: he's oversimplifying a bit, and also making assumptions about the Eve HP system that fit his thinking. But the laser science is fine.

Minmatar sails: ok he's just making **** up now. They have sails because the artist thought they looked cool.

The minmatar sails is a asumption but a good one and I for one am going for heat dissipation.
