Rule 5.7

[Fletcher]

I concede I have never seen an Outcast/Corsair planetary orbit fight. Or close to your home planets... I only know what I hear from other players and what I read up.


When it comes to the scale of objects, things are pretty under exaggerated to say the least. Its not 100% realistic here I admit, but in my opinion I still can't see a nuclear defense grid. A hyper velocity missile or high powered gauss or laser turrets. But I guess that would in-game be broken down into weapons platforms. Which are rubbish. Unless we invest stationary defense platforms which are very high powered.

We can both agree that in the end the game scale of 'size' is bizarre.

When it comes to nuclear explosions, as you put in nuclear mines. There are many variations of size and payload. You can have small nukes that can take towns out, quickly. You can even have bombs that can take out entire countries, albeit small ones. Like Wales or the UK, or perhaps Japan if the range extends that far... Which I wouldn't put past the military.

Nuclear mines in-game would have small 'refined' nuclear warheads, while the nuclear weapons I believe you are talking about is 'city or town destroyers' in our times, they hit their mark, and nothing comes out.

I wonder if a 'coned' explosion is possible in nuclear weapons, if so, they would be perfect anti-ship weapons, they hit their mark and spray their explosion into the target.:)
