The system was a simple one in which each ship received a number which was appended to its ship type, fully spelled out, and added parenthetically after the ship's name when deemed necessary to avoid confusion between ships.

Originally, plotting tables ( in large ships ), combined with specialised slide rules ( known in U.

A number of inexpensive boats attacking en masse could overwhelm a larger ship's ability to fight them off using its large, slow-firing guns.

In practice, since the force of drag produced by collecting the interstellar medium increases approximately as its speed squared at non-relativistic speeds and asymptotically tends to infinity as it approaches the speed of light ( taking all measurements from the ship's perspective ), any such ramjet would have a limiting speed where the drag equals thrust.
