Every troop has to be multiple individuals, but I was wondering about the scale you were looking at: Big Bad "Terminator" cyborgs vs the puny humans or what?

quote:
Of course they are multiple i have a question can i make a ship immune to laser fire?????
Sure. Give it shields and give it crystalline ability equal to or greater than the laser's damage.

To prevent this from ruining weapons other than the laser, you can divide the laser components so that they are 5KT in size, but have the same DMG/KT/turn as normal.

Energy containment suit:the armor for antimatter trooops
Going the other way: What about a spherical repulsor field to keep all that nasty atmosphere and stuff out of your hair? It would act as a powerful shield or armor.

Ships

Artificail black hole: for pirates only it is a massize ship half the size of a battle sun and has built in rtractor beams(if possible)and many other things that make it wonderous however it has a movement of one and is expensive and probably wont be used at all but if its built the pirates are mighty because it sucks in ships and then Boards them with built in boarders

Bloackade ship:a very large but slow ship foir everyone excellent for bloackades!

Warship:a ship thats a bit smaller then a dreadnought

Units:

facilitys

Undergorund network: increases a planet cargo space greatly the second of planet util and megascale

Artificial continint:the first result of megascale and planet utilization

I'm pretty sure that this has been mentioned before in this thread, but you can't make weapons part of a ship's inherent abilities

For the nuclear stuff:
Why not have Nuclear Missiles for use against ships, and Nuclear Bombs for use against planets.
You can say that the missiles are built lightly, and can't withstand an atmospheric entry (insignificant effect on vaccuum planets, since there is no atmosphere and the bLast dissipates into space)
The bombs would be designed for planetary assaults, detonating in the lower atmosphere, or on impact with the surface of a vaccuum world.

You can then also make the nuclear warheads do a different amount of damage to planets vs ships.

That sounds a tad wimpy.

What kind of facilities do the bugs have? If they've got regular organics extractors of >300 per turn or so, those harvesters probably won't be used.
