>>6043642make the activated sealant turn bright orange for patch direction, yeah, that might work. The sealant would have to function with all 3 phases of water though, which might be difficult
>>6043648>micrometeorite iron domeI like this idea and we probably need some form of this for larger threats but you have to realize that the threat we're looking at (I think) are specks with tiny amounts of mass moving at absurdly high velocities. Picrel is 7 grams of matter moving at 7000m/s into a block of aluminum. Tracking, much less shooting down these objects are practically impossible unless we pull some more stuff out of the alien tech hat.
>gravity gen Yeah, this might work, if we can track the projectiles, and if the artificial mass of gravity can be moved fast enough to affect the projectile. I'm assuming the way that the grav gens work is by using bullshit to project point masses at various points in space to apply a force of gravity on another object, while at the same time somehow limiting that pseudomass to not affect anything else in the wider area. This explanation doesn't really hold up I feel like because like, how does this mass not form a black hole. How does the mass not affect anything outside the spaceship/habitat. You need an obscene amount of mass to get the acceleration you need for proper earth gravity and that would affect things outside of the ship, I feel like.
