What about a shotgun-style cannon? It would accelerate a single large projectile that breaks up upon leaving the atmosphere, hitting a large area in space as it spreads?

And who says we can't turn the earth itself into the weapon?

[Coolrune206]

Gunder looks thoughtful.

"Vhen you vere kids, did you ever burn de ants with de magnifying glass? Vhat if we employed a similar concept... In space?

[Rethi-Eli]

"Keh heh heh, I like your thinking. Earth weapon! Magnification cannon! Let zem come, und we vill utterly destroy zem!"

[Coolrune206]

"You think so small. Vhy not use de sun?"

Gloval Varming, vor exvample. However, I just veal- no, Realized that we don't know what their ships are weak and resistant to. We could have a basic analysis of the ships to find them, though we should focus on how they would be affected by our primary ideas of offense- that is, heat, disease, overall energy, physical damage (cutting, piercing, maybe slashing), and so on. Governor Nirur, have any pieces of alien technology been found? A little testing on them may provide such information.

Vy do ve all have foreign accents? Ve have a Norvegian und ein Deutschlander.

Was ist dein nationalitisch, mein freund? Ist du ein fellow Deutschlander?

No, vor I have veen vimicing vour own vaccent, vriend..vand I'm veginning to sound like Vount Dracula! I have got var enough.

Very little is known about the alien menace, but there are hints that they are vulnerable to being thoroughly made very dead.

If you want more than the most basic reconnaissance, you'll need to find a way to get it yourselves.

[Rethi-Eli]

To hell with zis! Ve shall all build out own parts to ze grand cannon. And yet, ve need more workers to aid us! We cannot build a superweapon without at least zweihunderd helping hands!

Get the hired goons then. We keep them on the payroll for a reason

Construct a massive geothermal piping network under Norway, dedicated to powering the EDC.

{6} - The area beneath Norway proves to be a phenomenal source of power. The Scandenavian work crews, eager to defend the planet, even work overtime. Soon, Sweden, Finland, and even Denmark are joined into the system. A few critics comment that there may be a bit too much power for the cannon to safely use.

OVERPOWER: +2 to cannon's raw power output. Must be near Scandenavia.

start making the targeting system of the cannon the power of it doesn't matter if it cannot aim

{5} - A team of engineers is told to make the targetting system for a cannon of unknown specs or even type.

Within hours, local bars and liquor stores are extinguished of their sanity-maintaining stocks.

Eventually, and with a global effort of all qualified personnel, a huge database of targetting systems for possible weapons systems is compiled.

Comprehensive Targetting Database: +1 to giant weapon system's accuracy.[/b]

Create a fleet of small drones, each armed with a small rocket and a machine gun! We will overpower the enemy by virtue of sheer numbers!

{4} - Superior German engineering results in a large fleet of space-faring attack drones. Technically the machine gun is on a swivel-mount, but they can currently only shoot directly forwards due to limited navigation software. This will limit their ability to work at point-blank range and defensive abilities.

They're capable of launching from the surface into orbit by their own power, but will have limited combat time.

Drone Factories: +small swarm of rocket-propelled machine gun drones every turn.

Get to work building the body of the Railgun for now focusing on making it able to interface with the geothermal power being created

{5} - A super-massive, telescopic, rail-gun body is created. When fully-extended, it reaches out of the atmosphere.

Ladder holes on the outside leave it conveniently accessible, even when fully extended!

Railgun Body: Created

Spend my time aiding the pursuits of the other scientists, making their parts of the cannon more effective and efficient.

{2} - The railgun body gets ladder-like hand holes.

Two turns remain until alien arrival.

[OceanSoul]

So...what shall we fire with the railgun? Also, is it possible to make/work on a second cannon/something that could use the extra power?

[Rethi-Eli]

So...what shall we fire with the railgun? Also, is it possible to make/work on a second cannon/something that could use the extra power?

Ah, ja! Ve should utilize zis power to our advantage! Ze rail gun shall fire blasts of superheated rock at supernovae remnant speed! Yet... I fear zat is not enough. Gunder, mein freund, was did you say about dein... "magnification weapon"? Shall ve look into it?



If Gunder says ja, aid him in creating a solar magnification weapon. If Gunder prefers to work alone, work on creating the base for the railgun, and attach the body and base together to complete the main weapon.

[Coolrune206]

"I vill not vork on that right now. It vould be a big distraction. I believe a nuclear payload vould be best for ze railgun. Hammer them hard with ze shell, then detonate."
