Default Re: [Ultra-Tech] What would naval warfare at TL10 look like?

Heheh haven't posted here in years but dropped in for a browse and happen to have been looking at a lot of naval stuff recently.

What is a naval task force going to look like?

Different.

Just off hand, TL10 gives you cheap and very stealthy 1kt 64mm mini nuke drone mines and million ton orbital weapons platforms with lots of great big lasers. You get the full spectrum of TL10 sensor technology and clouds of microbots. Chances are you'll be able to detect and track anything you could reasonably describe as a warship on, over, or beneath the surface and direct overwhelming firepower at it one way or another. In this scenario, you're probably dealing with swarms and networks of small or tiny platforms fighting it out. More like ant colonies fighting rather than naval task forces battling it out.
