- | ====== Space Weapons ====== | ||
- | |||
- | A look at the types of weapons and defensive systems used in space warfare at different technology levels. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 7 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Chainguns**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Nuclear missiles**: Good range, but limited delta-v at low technology levels. Very destructive if they get close enough until the invention of //nuclear dampers//. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 8 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Railguns**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Lasers**: At TL 8 lasers are possible, but not that effective. They tend to do limited damage but have the advantage of high accuracy at longer ranges than railguns. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 9 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Sandcasters**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Massdrivers**: | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 10 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Particle beams**: Particle beams are more damaging that lasers, though aren't quite as long ranged. | ||
- | |||
- | **Nuclear pumped x-ray lasers**: Nuclear missiles which power a highly destructive x-ray laser at the target. Greater effective range than a standard nuclear missile. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 11 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Xasers**: X-ray lasers. Better range characteristics than standard lasers, and these ones don't need to have a nuclear bomb behind them. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 12 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Meson guns**: Make use of weird stuff to avoid armour. Tend to be only used as spinal mount weapons until much later tech levels. | ||
- | |||
- | **Plasma cannons**: Fire bolts of super heated plasma. Shorter range than lasers or particle beams, but more damage. Due to their explosive effects, tend to be good against larger targets. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 13 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Anti-matter particle beams**: Highly destructive, | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 14 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Fusion cannons**: Hotter, more deadly versions of plasma cannons, heating the bolts up to fusion temperatures before firing. | ||
- | |||
- | **Gravity pulse gun**: Uses a mix of repulsor/ | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 15 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Grasers**: | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 16 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Plasma beams**: Beam version of plasma cannon. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== TL 17 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Fusion beams**: Beam version of fusion cannon. | ||
