That's actually covered in the generator as a pure fusion warhead

Anyway, the yield would be just enough to take a small/medium mech out completely from a direct explosion, and cripple the larger ones. Needless to say there'd only be two missiles in the launcher, and it'll be a BIG BOOM if it got hit so...

Antimatter is considered a WMD. Even a singe atom is enough to fuck up a city with fourth degree burns and stripping the flesh off the skin.

What. No it's not. Don't lie. (the second part)

The total amount of antimatter we've produced, less than a billionth of a gram, reacted with matter, would barely produce enough energy to power an electric light bulb for a few minutes.

I'm talking about anticarbon (One of the only reasonable atom types for weaponization, much bigger and it'll be too much energy to maintain a field, much smaller and it won't be as strong. We have only ever produced antihydrogen, which is rather weak, still enough to have a blast radius much larger then a grenade.)

Anticarbon has six times as much mass as antihydrogren.

One atom will not do anything like that. That is false.

Anti carbon still doesn't weight enough to have the effect you describe.

Carbon has an atomic mass of 12 units, or 1.99264824e-23 grammes.

Each gram has 89*10¹⁵ Joules of energy.

As you can see, anti carbon is insignificant. (And it has to be. Lightning on Earth creates significantly larger amounts of antimatter with each strike).

Twelve times actually

Oh right neutrons. Derp. My bad.

[Flying Dice]

Spirits, that CIWS overpenetration. xD

[~Neri]

I think it's a lil funny that Ebbor mistook Kiren for a girl in the update. I mean I was totally expecting that to happen, but not so quickly.

[10ebbor10]

The only reason I put gender in the sheets is so that I can use the correct pronouns. Thank you for screwing that up.   

[~Neri]

Hehe, it says male on his sheet.

[10ebbor10]

I have encountered a flaw in my system. If a shell just barely succeeds in penetrating, it doesn't do much damage. If it just barely doesn't, due to the way said damage is created, does a lot of damage.

[Rolepgeek]

Yeah, that might be a problem.

Maybe make it so that the damage when it doesn't penetrate is just kinda sitting there not doing much(and is a lot lower, of course, since that's the point of armor), but when it does penetrate it can fuck up stuff inside the mech?

[10ebbor10]

The problem is, if I do that and you encounter a highly armored mech, it's possible that you simply can not hurt it in any way.

I want death by a thousand cuts by possible, because even if the armor piercing shell doesn't penetrate, it still does damage. I adjusted the numbers a bit for future updates, so it shouldn't be that bad anymore.

[~Neri]

You could set it up so that the armor takes damage if it doesn't penetrate and if it does penetrate, armor damage is transferred to internal damage?
