Just wait for battleship-sized weapons doing orbital strikes.

A mini-nuke can be a Minmatar strike. Could have a nice mushroom cloud after-effect.

Not even capital-class turrets fire the equivalent of nukes. The closest thing is probably a doomsday weapon from a Titan.

You...you're joking, right?


We CURRENTLY have artilley-fired nuclear shells, like the W33 203mm shell. It has a yeild of 40 kilotons. The largest frigate sized autocannon in EVE is 200mm, and there is nuclear ammo available for it. The goddamn thing fires BURSTS of these shells.

Or the real-life 280mm nuclear howitzer. That was an earlier model though, and only had a 15kt blast. There is also a 280mm frigate sized artilley piece.

Now take those concepts and add extremely futuristic technology.

Hell, in EVE lore it's stated that a battleship's 425mm railguns firing antimatter canisters could wipe out a small city in a single volley.

Capital weaponry, you're looking at things like the dual 1000mm railguns, or 3500mm QUAD artilley. Imagine a futuristic nuke in a 3.5m wide shell. 100 megaton yeild? 200? more? Hard to say, but far more destructive than anything we can presently imagine.

I don't know where you get your extremely flawed info from, but you should refrain from posting about things you have no knowledge about.

And also, the last time a doomsday weapon was activated in a planets atmosphere, it ENDED life on the planet.

Yeah, because the titan's reactors detonated in space, and only the front 7km section fell to the planet, a 7km section that weighed considerably less than, say, a 7km meteorite because it was a ship filled with empty space. (Ships aren't solid hunks of metal, you know).

If the entire thing had fallen, and the reactors had exploded in atmosphere, they specifically stated it would have been an extinction-level event.

I think you have some serious misconceptions about large things crashing into planets.

And what does balance have to do with any of this?

Mushroom clouds aren't specific to nuclear weapons, just really, really big explosions. The smallest real-world nuke had an area of effect longer than its maximum firing range.

closest thing to a nuclear weapon in eve is a titan's superweapon.

Actually, it isn't.
A capital-class weapon in eve is already equivalent to a nuke.
A dreadnought-class ship can kill another dreadnought-class ship (in eve) after firing at it for quite some time; on the other hand, a doomsday-class weapon mounted on a titan can (and usually do) one shoot a dreadnought-class ship.
