I want to meet the poor buggers in the DARPA acronym department. There's that and MAHEM. They work so hard at contrived acronyms there, the poor lambs.

Look at the tonnage on that thing... only 0.00075kT! Someone over at Malfador needs to look into miniaturization technology! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Try Carrier Battles mod for intense missile interceptor action.

P&N mod allows the really large fighters to carry stock-like PD weapons too.

But how practical would this weapon be in conditions such as a cloud bank?

Re: OT Interesting news item
 

A cloud bank? Probably not very much.

Pretty much any sort of particulate cloud does bad things to lasers.

Re: OT Interesting news item
 

So if an enemy fighter is attacking with lasers, it would be good to fly into a cloud.

Re: OT Interesting news item
 

You don't need to fly into a cloud, just puff out some smoke or chaff and make your own cloud.
That said, it seems that it is designed to be used against missiles.

So a missile with a really smokey power source...

Bring on the steam powered missiles! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
