Firefly (The Series)...POLL

Well, if I understand what you are getting at, then you can pretty much "cancel" every "space show" there is due to technical flaws. Foremost among these is the Star Trek family (where one hears them fly by in space and hears weapons shooting, etc.) And too many other technical flaws to start listing.

So, given that, I suspect you "lose" a lot of sci-fi shows/movies...

"Sure, it didn't have any systems that were specifically weapons, but the effectivness of any reaction mass drive (as their engine was) as a weapon is directly proportional to its"

Effectiveness -as a weapon-..that doesn't mean the ship would be considered armed. It is entirely possible to kill with a pencil; most people wouldn't consider a man holding one armed.

And reaction drives as weapons only works when the target can't get out of the way.
