Supernova Weapon / Steambirds' Suggestion Thread

Earlier today, me and my best friend were discussing Planetary Annihilation on the bus when he says "What if a weapon made the solar system's star go supernova?" We both thought that this would be an epic idea. Rather than vaporize planets, now you can systematically destroy entire planetary systems. I have no idea how such an absurd weapon could be balanced, but making a star go supernova would be a rad way to destroy everything.

That is incredibly OP, and would ruin any game.

It's not really OP if you kill... everything (including yourself), just pretty silly.

I know it is "OP", but the energy and metal cost of this would be through the roof. Plus, I feel like the star the planets are orbiting needs some love too.

instead of that make it into a black hole, you have 5 min to end the match before everyone dies

Another thing I would like to see is an upgrade for Galactic War that gives your commander the abilities of a regular fabricator unit (builds radars, artillery, etc). I am surprised that (to my knowledge) nobody has suggested this. The tech name would be "Commander Fabrication Tech", and an "advanced" version would give the Commander a few T2 items like the Holkins, Catapult, and T2 energy and mexes.

Not the first time this has been brought up.

A suicide weapon isn't a good idea IMO. Can't continue to wage war across the galaxy if you kill yourself.

no
no no no
there are enough freaking superweapons in this game
ssxes nukes hallies planet lazer i mean damn get back to it and fight with tanks bots and planes.

c'mon.
no
no more

I feel that the game has very few true superweapons like the Annihilaser and Halley. With this, we'd have a complete level of destruction. Local, Planetary, and Solar. But I think a GW tech that gives the commander basic fabricator capability would be interesting.

Solar flames then? Which burn certain planets?

I don't like the balance of the idea what's the point in killing yourself but I do think we should have more annihilation weapons on a crazy level I mean the games called planetary annihilation the lazor and halleys just don't seen enough lol​

I suggested this myself here : https://forums.uberent.com/threads/annihilaser™-should-caclulate-collision.63314/page-3#post-1003433

why not ad a single other draw mechanism other than both commanders exploded at the same time?

how often do you get a draw?

(How easy is it to gain control of 5 metal planets?)
