Skuly has a point; some of the weapons in SE4 would do serious damage to a planet, perhaps to the point of rendering it unlivable even if you *didn't* kill everyone off.

CSM's are supposed to be nukes but their damage and ammo levels don't really reflect that.

Also, consider the opposite end of the scale - depleted uranium cannon. Good luck killing anyone with a depleted uranium cannon from outside the atmosphere of a planet. Even inside the atmosphere, good luck hitting targets, and even if you hit with every shot, you'll never have enough ammo on a space ship to kill even one million people with them.
