Lasers have carry kinetic energy

[John Shepard]

Little thing, weird thing. Lasers actually have kinetic energy.


Suggest not having lasers have kinetic energy? Nobody notices and most haven't seen it, but lasers push objects

I'm not sure what this is a suggestion for.
In any case most of the push from the lasers we deal with in Elite would come from chunks of the target vaporising and not from the momentum of the photons involved.

You could call them, smaller version PA's. It would make more sense.
