Hi
I forget who but someone wrote about the low number of hight tech weapons
Suggestion #1956 Multi barrel plasma/fusion guns?
Suggestion #1957 High tech cluster bombs?
Suggestion #1957 man portable meson guns?
Suggestion #1957 man portable charged particle accelerators?
back in one of the OLD journals they had a TL15 spinal particle mount
the 'V' gun. "Vaporize" it was an A-PAWS Anti matter particle
accelerator weapons system. They were HUGE and POWER HUNGRY!
But you could chop a planet to bits with 144 shots from a spinal mount.
I also remember reading something (probably not approved) about the
possibility of using an ordinary scout ship. Use it's TOKAMAK or TORSATRON
fusion reactor as a plasma containment device but the plasma is anti-matter
drop one on a starport and BOOM!
Sure it's a lot more bulky that the TL 17 missile but hey!
After all,, here we are with TL7-8 equipment turning out small amounts of
antimatter? couldn't you at TL15 build up enough after a while for a bomb?
at TL 5 we couldn't get ANY plutonium but at 6 you can get enough to make
a bomb.
Also, how do you handle FAE bombs in trav? (Fuel Air EXplosive) TL 7-8?
Full of questions,
Mr. Scotty
