It's funny cause its true... BTW, when you going to add something?
Chewy: Totally understand. I think I was going to write the existing characters for awhile, myself. Still don't plan to add anyone else right now, anyway.
CJ: Sorry if that was confusing. I guess when I'm talking about the weapons and all, I mean I was thinking more primitive weaponry adapted for interstellar battle. When I think about gunfire in space, I don't see laser beams, but more like F16 miniguns. I realize that some of that would be impractical, given the logistics of space, gravity, inertia, and the void. And, again, the only visual thing my mind goes back to is the new Battlestar Galactica series. But, given that I imagine not everyone has seen it, or even likes it, it's not a universally practical visual reference.
In the end, write what you like. If I don't like it, I'll write around it, or use it, either way.
