I think it's a very big deal.
What surprised me ED was the amount of energy they got into a small
package. Current electronics are so small that you can buy a complete
inertial system that is about 3x3x4 inches. Add to that phased array
radar and a targeting system and your in business. The avionics are,
in my mind, the easy part.
The propulsion system is what amazes me. It must be 100% reliable or
your going to be building a lot of ships. Not a good plan.
