' Wrote:Define "that close" please. I'd really not say that 3K is necessarily that bad. Of course it's not good either, more distance would be more prudent. But we don't really know how much "3K" actually is. The actual distance from a planet's surface to 3K away from its outer atmosphere isn't exactly a small deal.
Cruisers and battleships have weapons that reach 3k out. TCDs reach 3k out. Theoretically, Malta and Valetta have numerous ships of these classes and others that could easily undock and blow you out of the sky. Regardless how what distance 3k actually is, it IS close enough for you to be attacked, and you probably shouldn't be there.

brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
