Default Area effect weaponry....

Is it possible to create weapons that deal damage in a bLast area like a grenade? Or even weapons that deal damage to everything in an indiscriminate line from the attacking ship?

The weapons would deal a large amount of damage in the direct attack area and splash lesser damage into adjacent areas. (Cut a swath into fighter formations)

Of course such weapons of massive and utter destruction would weigh hundreds of kT and cost even more (massive radioactives cost/upkeep? I really do mean MASSIVE!!)

Terrible ROF of course, but awesome range. My idea is that any ships in the target area should get a turn to try and run away as the weapon powers up (poor static defences).

It would take some time to balance properly, but would prove to be a wonderful addition to the game.

Huge weapons of mass destruction is a Science Fiction staple!
