Not reallyAn expanding universe means the distance between galaxies increases, not the galaxies themselves. Their size is determined by their mass and should remain the same.
By their mass and the mass of neighbouring galaxies and the mass of all the dark crud we can't detect, which is all moving around or away or through or something, but whatever way it's moving it will have some effect on the density and size of a galaxy, possibly insignificant, possibly not, but definitely some effect.
Or not, thinking about that old "balloon example"
Anyway, he's wrong
The balloon example can be misleading: if everything expands at the same rate it would be undetectable. That is if you draw a galaxy on a balloon and inflate or deflate it then the galaxy drawing would change size at exactly the same rate as the empty space around it so the ratio of galaxy to space would be constant. I think for the balloon example to work you'd have to denote the galaxies as points which cannot change in size irrespective of how much air was in the balloon.
Oh yes, he was monumentally wrong.
The OP is right and this thread proves it.
He only nudged it once and now it grows faster and faster without any input from him.

It is great, although small!
Wanna have your pamphlets riddle the hull or subsystems of your mark?
Give 'em a try.
Double the damage of a MC of it's class, half the refire rate.
60 shot magazine with a backup mag cap of about 1000 shots.
Seems to have no damage penalty to larger targets,
and it has flair and style.
Sadly it doesn't feature a specified 3d model...

so what you are saying is if i fired a gun from the moon, and it travelled through space for a few million years, it would keep on accelerating, and then eventually if it hit another moon with no atmosphere, it would have generated so much energy that it would potentially knock the moon out of orbit, or at least blast a hole through it?
I am no genius - esp with physics (my weakest A level so you may have a point) but this seems very wrong to me, and falls down on the whole energy can never be created or destroyed, just converted from 1 form to another. where is this never ending supply of energy coming from to this bulledual core i7t?
edit CARP! 18 pages.. ok i did not notice that when i replied!.
edit 2.... but you cheered a dev up which is more than i can say i have ever done

For all we know that apple rebounded off it back into space and by now has reached some exponential power of C and obliterated a far off alien civilization when it hit their planet! The horror!
To prevent that from happening again we put apples today in anti-acceleration bags (known as plastic bags) or make juice out of it.
Right! It all makes sense now! We need... we need to juice the universe! It's the only way to be sure! Get out the cosmic juicer!
I think it will all fit if we pack it down real hard.
Beware, or else it will provide more than 1.21 Gigawatts of pure apple energy and Frameshift off into distant skies,
commiting an apple flavoured genocide again.
"Apple, you are convicted of mass murder, how do you pledge?"
"Juicy?"
Maybe if we slice them first? But that begs another question... What... really happens when you split the apple?
You have to crush them down at once to force all the energy into another dimension through a "pip", the colloquial for an apple-induced singularity. Merely splitting the apple will cause appulation (the reaction where X number of apple vectors are created, X being the initial number of your split pieces).
That solves the riddle why the fragment cannon has such limited ammo cap.
As you stated it is clear to see, that storing more than 33 apples in any single ammunition box, could cause an implosion ripping time and space apart.
But still they are used as ammunition by injecting an apple into the gun, splitting it, eliminating all apple vectors apart from the apple seeds',
via experimental negation devices, thus ejecting the seeds as "grape shot".
It also transforms the vegetable class to grape.
OMG!
Dangerous!

i was really hoping for at least a gimbal
I would like to offer my gratitude to the mods for allowing this thread to run. They could easily have closed it, but it seems they are also laughing their donkeys off about this one too!
This is too funny about Newton... That's related to the situation on Earth, where gravity gets falling things to accelerate, up to the point where atmospheric resistance becomes greater than the gravitational force.
Now, if you fire a projectile into space and your target is in the direction of a very close sun, your projectile might also keep accelerating due to the gravity of the sun.
If there's no significant gravitational pull, there will be no further acceleration once the projectile leaves the barrel, unless it either has a thruster of its own or your rail gun keeps firing some ever accelerating plasma stream that drives your projectile from behind, a rather unlikely method.

On a more serious note:
What about your shields, aren't those electromagnetic fields that would impact projectile acceleration of ferro-magnetic ordinance?
The seem to push multicannon shots, that are on a collison-vector with you, away.

Absolutely funniest thread ever. Definitely gets the Monty Python award for most inaccurate science ever used to try and make a point. The gun is pants tho (as are 80% ish of all PP modules)
I think this pseudo physics should only apply to those who choose to play in open. I don't think people playing in solo like peddaling a bycicle downhill in easy mode should have access to the same physics that people do playing in open. The speed of the bicycle should remain constant, and CG contributions in open should accelerate at a geometric rate. Why should people playing in solo have the same acceleration rate? Its not fair....
