    Could also be space rednecks, gleebub and the boys about to give these hareless apes anti matter torpedoes.

      I dunno. would space rednecks really survive getting their own M/AM torps? you really wouldn’t want redneck engineering anywhere near antimatter in enough concentration to blow up.

      (there is that theory. Life is common. But usually kills itself off or dies off before leaving it’s home system.)

        Would depend on how old anti matter tech is for them. Rednecks work best with older tech. So if the tech is a couple centuries old and anti matter reactors are as common as internal combustion engines are for us then id trust it about as much as a redneck tank, meaning let me see it in action atleast a couple times before I get near it.

          it’s not the equipment that’s the problem. its the dubious maintenance cycles.

          a broken down tank, or a leaky redneck hot tub, isn’t going to kill you.

            Okay redneck tank was probably a bad example, but the redneck IED is still nothing to laugh at. Worst case scenario we use it a base for study, perhaps chuck it at anyone dumb enough to get near earth. Just give Ireland veto power it should be fine.
