Development Notice: Hellfire Rocket Pods

[Cheetah]

Rockets don't use energy like our weapons do though. You simply press a button that ignites a fuse.

Novas should work on the same principle then? Accommodations have to be made for combat balance I guess.

Hellfires have a pre-manufactured, built-in chemical (but still powerful) explosive charge. That's why they don't use energy — chemicals are used as propellant and as payload. No need for energy.

Nova torpedoes are different. They use antimatter, and antimatter is unstable, decaying stuff. It has to be produced in-situ, because you can't store antimatter for days or even years. Nova Launcher produces antimatter from bomber's energy, then pumps it into warhead and fires the torpedo. That's why Novas use energy, and a lot of it. Same goes for capship weaponry.
