Super weapons.
This is a debate I have been having back and forth in my head for quite some time.
On one hand some one having a death star like super laser that blows up planets is probably too much power to allow a single group of players to control and far to taxing on the technical side of things.
However on the other hand doesn't someone or some organization that spends that much time, effort, skills, money, and resources into a single construct that could potentially be destroyed deserve to have that kind of power? I mean just think about it really. How much of the things I listed above would they need to give in order to create something like that in the first place? It would be an absolute unreasonably astronomical amount.
Not to mention all the threats out there that would try to stop you from constructing something like that in the first place and even if you managed to finish something like that how many enemy's do you think you would make. Id reckon a lot of them.
Now wouldn't all these factors be massive balancing factors? Not to mention by the same token if the devs did allow super weapons they could easily create counters to them like for example a planetary shield generator. With super weapons could potentially come super defenses.
Now in the end it all comes down to a technical stand point and by that note it probably wouldn't be possible but the fact that there is that slight hope that maybe just one of these day it could happen is a very exciting thought.
So with all that being said do you think super weapons should be a thing or not and if not how far should the power of weapons go?
Please let me know down below I would love to hear your guys opinions on this one as this one probably has a mixed bag of feelings.
I was more leaning on the side of weapons that can be placed on a space station or ship that are capable of completely destroying or crippling a planet. Now whether weapons of mass destruction on that scale should be allowed I am still not sure if my answer is yes or no. However If they were to implemented how much power should they have? What would be the limit? Would we simply just be able to create things like Starkiller base that can wipe out an entire solar system in one go or would we be limited to something like the size of a nuke? Now I can see something like nukes being implemented and not completely making a technical/balancing nightmare. It still would be a treat to see a planet killing weapon.
