Post by: an0n on February 29, 2004, 07:31:51 pm: My Cobalt Thorium Device missile was pretty ****ing powerful. A 15km range at 800m/s and a destructive force powerful enough to take out a Sath 10 times over.

Post by: Goober5000 on February 29, 2004, 07:34:42 pm: The explosion of the GTSC Asimov if you fail "The Big Bang", or the explosion of the GTSC Einstein in "The Pursuit". Both have a 5 km radius, bigger than the meson bomb's 3 km. :)

EDIT: This should really be in the Freespace Trivia Thread.

Argh, you beat me to it! Goober, you really are a walking encyclopaedia. :D

Should I merge it? I'll let you guys have a bit of warning first (most notably, LLL, so he knows where his thread went), then I'll merge it for you. :)

Post by: DeepSpace9er on February 29, 2004, 10:36:51 pm: I made a TC-1 have a 15km explosion radius and do enough damage to take out the Colossus. It was one of those antique 20th century thernomuclear warheads...

Post by: Deathstorm V2 on March 01, 2004, 03:32:55 am: I'd have to submit my V1 Heavy Gravity Device. A typo changed it's range from 10Km to 100Km.

100 Klicks' worth of 2 million negative blast - very amusing.

Post by: Grug on March 01, 2004, 06:12:58 am: lol Deathstorm V2.

Maybe we should just make a new addition to the scp with a new weapon called 'overkill', where it just spawns a supernova lol.

I doubt a nuke missile would approach the power of even a Harbinger (a nuclear BOMB, not a missile). For the kind of thing you're talking about you'd need a gigantic Meson Bomb or some kind of subspace weapon.

The Overlord flagsip's explosion radius in Starforce is 120km (the ship itself is~50 kilometers long) and can annihalate ships up to juggernaut size.

Even that is nothing compared to another spectacle you will witness in Starforce...;7

Post by: Ghostavo on March 01, 2004, 02:41:23 pm: In FS1 I used to do something stupid...
I'd ram an Orion,a Typhoon and a Lucifer (not sure about this last one) and I would get a really cool (not to mencione deadly) shockwave that would propogate through a few Kms... it was the biggest shockwave I saw in FS1. You could even target it!! :D

Post by: Goober5000 on March 01, 2004, 04:21:22 pm: :wtf: :eek2:

That deserves a screenshot. Could you recreate it for us?

Post by: Solatar on March 01, 2004, 04:26:09 pm: Please give us a screeny of you being able to target a shockwave. That'd be cool...

Post by: Starks on March 01, 2004, 09:16:45 pm: I remember once seeing a person detonate two Karnak stations simultaneously, but here's the catch... He managed to give the reactor explosions near-supernova effects.
