    If uber plans on making planet cracking through the use of other planets, then the effect should be less devastating and more fun to say, damage half a quarter of the planet. Whilst having defense duke it out on the surface, and have some % wise chance of hitting or not so its a gamble of surviving, or winning the strike. With more say missle silos in the area increasing the chance, whos with me.

    on that massive 11 hour stream they did on gamma release, they mentioned they have not yet added varying effects of astroids based on size. I agree that this needs to be implemented at some point. I think in the direction of having lots of smaller asteroids that hit like large nukes. I think using any celestial body that is over a quarter the radius of the target should get the expected "kickstarter smash" where the planet is truely annihilated. All in time.

    Asteroids don't annihilate planets. Planets annihilate planets!

    It's going to change, gamma is beta, WiP, etc.

    Does anyone else think "Planet Smash Op" sounds fundamentally silly?

    It's a planet, colliding with a planet. Things are going to break. And not just the game.

    I agree with the suggestion. However. There has never been anything so worthy of being op out of sheer magnitude, since Exodia from the first of YuGiOh.

    In the future, not all planets will completely destroy all planets.

    So small planets won't completely destroy large planets and the like. Uber's plan is for smashing to be often.

    Wait a minute...
    I GOT IT!!
    Instead of asking Uber to nerf planet smashing, we should just all ask science to nerf physics.

    Letter writing campaign begins NOW!

    Address it to Dr. DeGrass Tyson, surely the man who redefined Pluto out of its planet classcan lobby a physics law amendment. ;)

    Technically, that was done by a vote. Meh. I agree with the vote, but every time I get my nephews astronomy homework I shutter when it stops at Neptune. I've shown him Kerbal Space Program and I have shown him the asteroid belt and kuiper belt and Ceres and Pluto and Eres, if kids aren't informed because it's not a planet then they should perhaps instead be informed of the non-planet celestial objects in our solar system, they are just as relevant and just as fun.
