thered be computer aided weapons avoidance and maybe matter flak bombs to shoot at anti matter weapons

yeah and then there'd be anti-computer-aided avoidance, and anti-anti-computer-aided avoidance, ad infinitum

and why do laser bullets or w/e fly at anything less than the speed of light? The whole paintball-esque fighting portrayed in halo wouldnt exist; its corny nonsense

i like fantasy like lord of the rings though because the unbelievable aspects of lotr never claimed to be actually possible in the first place, where as sagas like Star Trek sort of pose as "actually possible in the future"

I bet thats what people said in the 60s when everyone on the enterprise had a pocket communicator with a bunch of different functions in it but now everyone has a smartphone with a video camera and ghost detector in it

yeah but their communicators sucked ass and look at how crappy the interface was on them; We have "communicators" now that are way more advanced, and Star Trek is supposed to take place still yet in the future with alien technology that's been advancing for even longer. The technology just isn't consistent with itself in Star Trek, takes me out of the show.
