warlord554 2065 Posted January 9, 2015 I was reading articles last night about the upcoming generation of ships power systems, they can generate enough power for these kinds of weapons. They mention the rail gun and some "lasers". See service around 2028. Crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Death Star? If we can't have Mars then neither can those aliens! Mwhahah!! Likely more of a deterrant weapon or something for naval units to assist ground units...for some reason it makes me think of a modern version of this. http://www.pageresource.com/wallpapers/wallpaper/uss-iowa-battle-battleship-fire-gun-guns-navy-design_481542.jpg Edited January 9, 2015 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nodunit 397 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I´m still waiting for this Oh wow, that is the most interesting rendition of the ion cannon I've seen, always wondered if the required delay of time afterwards is a required cool-down period, if the heat is ejected into space or what exactly they use to make the weapon function. Well its technicly not an Ion Cannon but there was a concept in 1979 or something called Project Thor which would use so called "rods from god", dropping tungsten rods from space to the earth. COD Ghosts used a version of this and called it ODIN. Edited January 10, 2015 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warlord554 2065 Posted January 10, 2015 I actually think they should build on this idea and technology. I mean you get the destructive force of a small WMD, without the nuclear fallout. Granted that doesn't give a country a right to use them more often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[evo] dan 79 Posted January 10, 2015 I actually think they should build on this idea and technology. I mean you get the destructive force of a small WMD, without the nuclear fallout. Granted that doesn't give a country a right to use them more often But without the fallout, and with the relatively cheap ammo, it might end up being used more.
