There is no physikal need to slow down. The Nova only need their engines to accelerate or slow down. At normal cruising the engines are off and don´t need any energy. And beam weapons don´t have a recoil that could the ship slow down. (argh, bad english!)

What Raider's saying is, basically, there is almost zero friction in space, so that a Nova can get up to a certain velocity (not speed...two different terms) - let's say sixty kilometers an hour, heading right for Jupiter (from Earth) ... then flicks the engines off.
Now, if you were in a car on the highway, you'd stop. The Nova won't. There's nothing to slow it down in space, so it keeps going.

Also, as Raider correctly points out, the energy weapons don't shoot a projectile (like a bullet) so Newton doesn't get to play (you know, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction) ... so it can sit there and shoot all it wants and it won't change direction from recoil, because there is no recoil

Well, technically there are always some gravitational forces in space that will slow a ship down. Though most times if you're in open space the deceleration would be completely negligable.

Not necessarily. If the ship is going the opposite way the same gravity would accelerate it. Same thing with recoil, if the ship fired its rear guns they would accelerate it, not decelerate.

darthwoo: more appropriately, the minute gravitational and frictional forces would change the Nova's velocity vector, they wouldn't nececssarily "accelerate" or "decelerate" it.

I mean let's say it's headed due north (even though magnetic compass directions have no meaning in space, this is a hypothetical example) and the gravitation from nearby pulsar X pulls it due east.
now it's not decelerating (e.g. going south) nor accelerating (e.g. going north) but it's vector is changing.

Mr. Fury: Yeah, you're right. Recoil only happens when physical objects fire: Firing a missile from a launch tube would generate recoil. Firing an energy weapon would not. There has to be mass, basically, be it a missile, a bullet, a fried green tomato, whatever, fired from the weapon in order for Newton's laws to take effect and recoil to occur.
