' Wrote:Liquids offer too much resistance. It would be impossible for a ship to move through it. Nitrogen is a very viscous, and cold, substance. Liquid nitrogen would literally freeze your ship and cause your hull to shatter. Shields probably wouldn't offer respite.
You're talking about resistance in a natural state in which there isn't anything to create it. Free standing liquid in an open vacum would have little to know resistance save what is created by localized gravitational draws.
Nitrogen freezing the hull? I don't think so, space gets cold, really cold. These hulls are also engineered to survive natural events, anomalies, and attacks of epic proportions. We're talking nuclear and matter/anti-matter weapons.
Why wouldn't the shields offer respite? They prevent mass from making contact with the hull, asteroids, micro-particles, and even little squishy things in the Omicrons systems. Why would a liquid be so much stronger?
