IP Nuke in Galactic War

Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to build IP Nukes in Galactic War. If yes, what research do I need to use it? If no, is there other tech and buildings that cannot be used in Galactic War?
Thanks

Yep they're in, you need the super weapons tech card if I recall correctly. It comes with halleys, and I imagine catalysts. I /think/.

Actually you don't anymore, super weapons are a default structure now (and yet you still need tech for avengers...)

Yes, superweapons are default now. You need something that can build t2 tech first though, anything, advanced air, advanced bot, advanced vehicle.

For that matter, having advanced bot/vehicle/air now gives you a basic factory and fabber (no other "basic" units like tanks or bombers) so you CAN get to t2. So it is much more generous than originally.

For vehicles you also get the Land Scout, I asume that applies to other Advanced Air only too.

Also don't forget Advanced naval. Most stuff can be build on water jsut fine, includign orbital launchers and nukes. You just need a planet with a medium lake to pick from...

to answer your question, you need orbital tech

Or any T2 + Astreus spy sat swarms + Nuke Snipe of commander.
Just don't attack multi planet start systems until you have proper orbital or rush over to them if you have neither.
I did it a dozen times when I lacked proper orbital tech and even I have the proper as it goes a lot faster the an invasion.
If I have tech 2, just building 1-2 Haleys and planet smash them can go even faster then the nukes (as I don't need that much power for the silo's). Unless it is one of those "far orbiting smashable" systems.

You can also always quit the game to get back to the GW overwview and hope you spawn on the same planet next try. Ai seems to prefer in that order: Moon, Lava, Metal - anything without navy capabilities really.
