Capital Ship Missiles

[McNeo]

... Space ships would have to survive being hit by micro-meteors traveling many times faster than a bullet could ever be accelerated to, even by a very very long rail gun. Shields and armor would both have to brush these everyday collisions off without so much as blinking - as it were. It's calculated that a small asteroid of a 10kg or so has the kinetic energy of a WWII atom bomb. Luckily the earth's atmosphere absorbs this quite easily.

About that. Imagine a nice square blob of depleted urainium about the size of a small sized football (English or American, makes no difference) surrounded by a shell of concentrated magnetic substance. Than fire it at half the speed of your average asteroid into a hull. I think you will find a pretty clean hole through the whole structure of the ship that was hit. Lo and behold all the rooms on that deck decompress.

And anyway, energy weapons would break the bonds in the metals and substances that they hit, because the release of energy would:

1. melt the bit you hit

or

2. Convince the bonds to break and stay in their respective elements instead of the compound they were in.

And once again, thank you, Microsoft.

For making sheild busters but not hull busters available, i will refuse to buy any microsoft game, apart from freelancer 2 if they decide to recommence development, which they wont.

@Wobbly: I like fighters, they are fun to have dogfights in, though they require a huge amount of concentration to fly against a skilled opponent. I mean, fighting for 2 hours against nightfall takes its toll:lol:
