minus-squareSapphironZA@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 months agoNormal human time scale. The projectiles have jump drives. When a object jumps it retains its momentum. So basically they have these projectiles traveling at 30% of light, with the ability to jump into position to strike a target.
