I submitted a proposal to GDW in 1992 for a MegaTraveller supplement that covered the design and use of drone missiles. What I didn't tell GDW at the time was that my write up wasn't just sh*t I thought up, but it was based on stuff the U.S. military was already thinking about, taken to their logical conclusion. So when I saw the first Predator drone...I was the least surprised person on Earth next to the people who designed it. Of course now the military is continuing along my same line of thinking, making their drones more and more autonomous and better armed. Occasionally I like to fantasize that somewhere in the Pentagon, someone has a copy of my proposal sitting on their bookshelf, and they reference it from time to time for ideas...
It's fun when real life application meets science-fiction.
