@Sarven no need, still works.

update?

i was looking for a nuclear warhead that was an instant kill with an only impact, doesn't matter if is expensive (like 800 or 1k of points each) so this way you only could take 1 nuclear missile on a very little ship to make a 3k fleet or something like that. Just look at the Zar's Bomb as example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTZdE7-1PRs) , the nuclear warhead have to be the last answer and nothing else after it. Make it lethal but with very little explosive range, so you can only take a single enemy ship with it but it's a certain kill.

3 different warheads sounds great!! could be even better if it sound more like a battleship reactor explosion already in the game. Is it possible to make? with radar noises and all that stuff?

Firestorm, those weapons utilize the method I mentioned below. Problem as I said is that missile damage scaling wont work if I use it.

The nuke shells for the MK1500 seem to work very well. Perhaps look at those for inspiration?

The low damage is unfortunately a side effect of how the game handles missile warheads. I have not had time to work on this but I am aware of a solution. I could add a AOE Damage effect instead that will do reliable damage, however this would mean the nukes always deal the same damage regaredless of size. If a few people ask for it I will create 3 different warheads with different AOE damage.

idk if this is a bug but the nuke seems to do almost no damage.

have you considered casaba howitzers? they act like a nuke but instead of a normal explosion, they fire a beam of atomic fire in one direction

thank you for making this mod.

I am currently working on adding scaled visual effect size and using a AOE damage module to make nukes a lot more reliable for the next update of this mod

They push ships away but deal relatively low damage. You can use them to throw off spinal weapons and other weapon systems temporarily.

What are the Impulse Warheads?

The Nukes still do a lot more damage than a HE warhead though.

I have tweakd the damage of nukes to be more reliable, however they still underperform. Unfortunately there is not much I can do against that since it is more of an issue with how the game handles missile warheads.

it would be neat if there were an attachment or attachments that made it an autonomous fighter drone

On paper, im pretty sure your nukes are already fine, its just they don't seem to actually work as intended

I will add a much more powerful nuke to the mod.

I think nukes could get a bit more damage, or maybe cause a reactor explosion more often!

Awesome mod. Thanks for sharing this with the community. 👍👍
Would be even better if the nuclear warhead yeild was variable to the point that a single torpedo could disable a ship.

I don't think most people here are looking for an overpowered nuke, more one that.. isnt just worse than a normal torp for several times the price

They're doing some damage, but it generaly takes more nuclear torpedoes to kill a target than conventional torpedoes, with both having the same sized warhead.

The nuke did literally no damage when I used it

If requested enough I can create a simply overpowered nuclear warhead instead and make it destroy ships in a single hit.

Nukes are supposed to be atleast partially balanced meaning they will not destroy a ship in one hit. They however have around 5 times the damage potential and 3 times the explosive reach inside a ship compared to a HE missile meaning that a well placed hit can completely disable a ship.

Nukes don't seem to do much

I'm getting similar issues here. I managed to hit a Solomon with 4 nuclear torpedoes, and it barely scratched the paint.

Tried out a nuclear torpedo, rated for 21000hp, it did 750 damage. One mace did twice that against the same target in the same hit location.

@MarXmaniac I mean they are fun books. I do enjoy his writing quite a bit

@Tempest Fox3 You sir sound like an Honorverse fan. Or Weber fan period.

Add a component where we could add guns on it.

Alright, I have unloaded and reloaded the mod, and it seemed like S2 nuclear warheads were doing ~350 damage a hit, despite being rated for 2,240 with a module size of 4 to a Solomon, and Size 3s were hitting just slightly harder with 13 hits on a Solomon dealing 4,600 despite being rated for 2,520 damage each with a module size of 2

I beg thee for a Bomb pumped laser warhead module :D

Size 1 nukes only deal only around 800 component damage at full explosive load, that might also be the issue.

I will look into that in the morning, and see if that fixes it.

@Thatoneplayer during my testing the nukes would destroy anything with around 5 hits, they are a bit unreliable though and I have seen a ship get hit and take no damage. Try restarting the mod.

I feel like the Nuclear Warheads aren't doing much. Having tested out S1s, 2s, and 3s, I was having to get dozens and dozens of missile hits just to break 2500 damage, regardless of what size the warhead module was.
I think that perhaps they just have too much armor penetration to do their damage properly? am I setting them up wrong? I quite love the idea, though

What about a component that makes the missile go even faster if posible?

Ah yes, the yellow glow
