lets say the martian colony wants independence in a 100 years.
how would that war look like?
What sensors and wepons are used in space battles?

Same as always, throwing big rocks at each other, but this time is asteroids
Dude that's such an out of context problem for us right now, we know nothing about how that war would go because we know nothing about the resources, potential population or war making capacity of a notional colony. As for weapons and sensors, probably the same shit we use today. RADAR and EO/IR, cannons, autocannons and lasers

like in planetary annihilation, lots of nukes
Earth and Mars should be separate political entities to ensure humanity has two votes in space-UN.
seperatist traitor humanity must stand as one
Russian-tier legalistic trickery
Wtf I didn’t know we had THAT many asteroids in the asteroid belt
And the distance between them is several thousand-million kilometers
Asteroid belts aren't like the ones you see in fiction, Any sort of action scene taking place in them would be far less exciting and lack the whole weaving narrowly between giant space rock moments.
you have no idea how huge and empty space is
https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html
There's about a million asteroids over 1km in diameter in the belt, and about as many that size in Jupiter's lagrange points. Considering how much resources are in a single 1km asteroid, regardless of type, and it really hammers home how rich the solar system is by earth standards.
There are still more resources in the Earth itself, it's just way harder to dig super deep and find what you're looking for than it is to spot something in the sky and go to space
Well, it was a planet.
I don't know
If they are self sustained, we'd probably allow. Maybe some butthurt and trade sanctions for earthly investments.
Only real conflict would be if one wanted the othersresources. Then the type of resource would dictate conflict.
You know….I wonder how an Earth-Mars financial market would function? Like, all the trading halts for a sync period of time every day?
They would simply be separate markets, you know, how like how every major country does currently
We had global markets even before mass communication.
Earth-Mars is much harder than Earth-Moon mind, the main issue would be when they're on the opposite side of the sun. A couple of relays at some midway points could help. We'll figure something out either way I'm sure.
By the time that's a relevant question, the stock market won't really exist in any meaningful way as a driver of financial activity, since AI will have solved the market by then and there will no longer be any way to make money through speculation.
It won't matter if there's several minutes of light lag to execute transactions, because you'll already know what that stock is going to be worth with 99.9% precision for any point in the next few years.
>you'll already know what that stock is going to be worth with 99.9% precision for any point in the next few years
only if we invent a crystal ball
It would be 100% a trade war. There's very little that they could do offensively that the Martians wouldn't already have prepared for as part of colonization.
>throw a big asteroid at them!!
1. short of a direct hit you're just gonna make a big dust storm. Nothing they're not used to
2.good luck doing that quickly and covertly. yes you can move asteroids with a small probe but only either a) a very small amount or b) over a very long time. neither is invisible nor unreversable and the probes are defenceless
Giant robots
S'truth
>we would like independence
>okay, great! let us know if there's anything we can do to help with that
Humanity will be past war in 100 years, inshallah.
not with israelites still existing
Even israelites want peace, Baruch Hashem
That game is autist as frick but still was fun, did the dev ever fix the resolution issues?
100 years is a long time but not that long. we'll be lucky to have a million people there by then.
>low population and few hostile countries able to make it to mars = few weapons being sent there = martians will have to make the weapons themselves
the martians will be space africa tier
>sensors
dunno
>weapons
ma deuce like always
>Operation Bri'ish
Side 3 should have been destroyed at the end of the War.
Japs don't care about war crimes, somehow think Zeon would have gotten off so lightly after killing off the majority of human on both Earth and space in a week.
And people still would have been on their side so they could milk another hundred instalments and million model kits out of the franchise.
Zeon warcrimed like nobody has ever warcrimed before, I agree, but counterpoint: does the Earth Federation have any moral right to deny the Spacenoids' separatist movements?
Gundam Unicorn discusses this somewhat more in-depth than one might expect of a shonen anime about BIG BATTLING BOTS
Gundam Unicorn is horseshit and a massive blight on the series. Retcons and newtype wank as far as the eye can see. Not to mention the protagonist is utter garbage.
>Retcons and newtype wank
what did they retcon?
haven't they always wanked newtypes?
>the protagonist is utter garbage
vanilla shonen twat I thought
>the most unrealistic part of Gundam is the EFSF fleet didn't use Side 3 colonies as practices
Titans did nothing wrong, G-Reco is the ultimate proof of that.
If you're wrong in an argument but the other guy punches you in the face, the argument doesn't matter anymore
Yes, but what if that was his lead before the argument even started?
>lets say the martian colony wants independence in a 100 years.
Martian colony can launch stuff with mass drivers for cheap, Earth cannot do that. On Mars you only need to defend the colony site, on Earth you need to defend the whole place. Earth gets saturation bombarded and reduced to rubble. Why do you think the ultrarich dream of owning a personal fiefdom on Mars?
This is why nobody will be allowed to colonize any place outside LEO anytime soon and by soon I mean next 150 years and if it ever happens space expansion will be under extremely tight internation control. You don’t give randos unlimited power of your life and death wiht no possibility of MAD scenario if you can help it.
Red rising a great book series for any of you interested in future space warfare
Mars is far too hostile an environment to have any meaningful population in a hundred years.
After reading all of the low effort comments, I'm going to Chadpost.
The realistically do this in a timely manner you need nuclear propulsion. The most efficient way is nuclear missiles launched from spacecraft. To make a serious dent into a planet you need to be in the Gigaton range. Thousands of times more powerful than the Tsar bomba. Lasers and railguns can be used to destroy enemy spacecraft. Gigaton nukes for fleets and starbases and planets. Laser batteries could probably also be used to defense against nuclear missiles. Then there's antimatter bombs and black hole generators, but I'm not sure we will have those in 100 years.
They martians would never make it. They would need imports for the next 5k years.
>What sensors and wepons are used in space battles?
The future of war won't be any different than it was 10,000 years ago with man slinging rocks, however instead of slinging rocks at prey man will sling devastatingly large asteroids at each other.
