eh...the "new and potentially lethal weapon" is a targeting laser? :wtf: :D

Well, I suppose it can be pretty dangerous, but they will need to modify ssm.tbl first. :D

Funny, from the trailer, when you saw the rows of explosions erupting from the ground, I knew immediately that it was a minefield. I've layed/disarmed/renewed enough of them, after all. :p

Proves that the film people knew what they were doing I guess ;)

Spoiler:

The Icarus cannon was a cannon designed by the bad guy that redirected the energy from the sun directly onto a given spot of the planet, it could illuminate an area entirely as if it was daylight or it could focus itself to create a far more powerful laser weapon that destroys anything in its path. Top stuff :)

It was cool, but it seemed a bit out of place in a Bond movie, for some reason. Cliched from C&C, I guess. :p

It was just a space-borne version of the Solex system from The Man with the Golden Gun but that may have been the point, I'm still not sure...

That'd be a ****ing hoot.

If they managed to get a working uber-laser the US would be ****ed as there's pretty much no defence against it. It's reliable, long-range, powerful, infinitely scalable and requires no restricted components to build.

"Okay Georgey, we'll surrender all our nuclear materials."
*laser tears apart the convoy sent to retrieve it just as it enters american territory*
*thermonuclear explosion ensues*
"Dude, we told you that **** was dangerous."

Not to mention they could take out American communication satellites and screw the armed forces beyond belief.

There is defence.... other lasers ;)

I mean do you really think the US hasnt been working on them? Sure I've no proof of it but if others have it's a fair bet that the US and/or other countries have investigated defence and retaliation against them.

Plus, lasers need a lot of power as far as I can make out, that doesn't always leave much room for deployment.

I imagine you could bring one las-sat down with ASAT missiles coming in from different vectors. It shouldn't be an insurmountable task to take it out when it can only take on 1 target at a time.
