Ah, isn't this fun, we are all talking about nukes
again. =)
Here are my 2 cent on EMP.
Don't think there is any problem with EMP effect for
LoGH ships.
why?
1. A sun have greater EMP effects than a single nuke,
and we see a lot of battles that occur near suns.
2. If u don't like EMP, setup a faraday cage around
your ship and connected it to some big capacitors.
Only problem is your target lock get lost when
a EMP source occur in your line of sight.
Now I have another question for LoGH. From all the
planets shown on the show, how do they keep building
10s of thousands of ships? Do they have giant
factories planets that we don't see? or are all the
peasants just for show (to make the nobles feel they
are in 18 century Europe).
