Forget re-entry, how would you get that into space in the first place? It is not very common to blast around 80,000 tons into orbit.

I really hate to point out a fatal flaw in most of these space ships, but why are there almost no guns on the bottom when there is no up and down in space? Not the Spacebattleship Yamato though... that has guns on the underside I think...

The X^ series games (like X3TC/X3TR) actually address all the common sense problems like that (helps that many of the game developers actually play the game regularly and are the biggest mod contributors) having guns in up to 6 locations (front turrets, port/starboard turrets, aft, top and bottom turrets/fixed guns) that can give some ships a full 360 sphere of fire. Also having all the shipyards/factories that are already in space so you don't have to worry about that pesky gravity stuff helps

We can't blockade England anymore; you sank her and made the cover of Zeit magazine afterward.


On a totally unrelated note: how many torpedoes would it take to sink Australia?

Eh, I tried one of those already. They raised the national alert status to "we may have to cancel the barbie" for a couple hours, but that was it.

I'm all in for the plasma laser. This end of town could do with a renovation.

Aye, the afterparty and skimpy negligee definitely made the memory stick. Where is Reece these days?

I know what would do it: buy out all of their breweries and impose sanctions on alcohol imports. We'll near-beer them into surrendering.

Although, if TarJak's tub is stocked up...
