Small spacecraft with extreme acceleration possessed incredible maneuverability, but they were completely unsuitable for human pilots. They could only be operated as unmanned drones.
Austin immediately felt embarrassed. He was the one who had pushed Professor Roman to develop this compact interceptor. Now, it seemed practically useless.
This small spacecraft used a massive amount of lightweight alloys, sacrificing some overall performance to achieve its extreme maneuverability. In his mind, space combat should be like atmospheric dogfighting, the higher the maneuverability, the better.
But he had forgotten a crucial detail: high maneuverability required high acceleration. The human body simply couldn't handle those extreme G-forces.
This was no longer the era of solo heroics. The frailty of human flesh was nothing compared to the resilience of machines.
