[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] There are plenty of examples, both good and bad, about what can happen in space combat when you can't see your enemy. Exhibit A: "Balance of Terror." The two ships didn't have to be in visual range all the time for there to be tense action. Exhibit B: "Andromeda." The quintessential "beeping dots on the screen" killed a lot of the action, and cutaway shots didn't make up for it. It was the most scientifically accurate, one could argue, but that didn't make it interesting. Let's face it: modern combat, even/especially in real life, is mostly people staring at computer screens guiding or controlling their weapons at targets dozens, hundreds, or thousands of miles away.
