Terror Star Suggestion

Terror Star Suggestion

from GalCiv2 Forums
This isn't a major suggestion, and it won't affect gameplay, but I suggest changing the name of the final module of a Terror Star from "Death Beam" to "Starhammer".

Starhammer sounds a lot more interesting that Death Beam, IMO, and is a reference to a similar weapon in the "Starhammer" series of novels by Christopher Rowley. What a TS does looks a lot like it "hammers" the star, causing it to supernova, so calling it a Starhammer Beam wouldn't be out of place.

something that temporarily stops fusion reactions in the sun


it is the fusion reaction that is keeping the star from going black hole. thus if you stop the reaction you have a black hole.

and although a black hole is more dangerous than a super nova. that is not what the weapon description states.

I said temporarily, like the sun destroyer weapon of Star Trek: Generations

That doesn't make sense. Something that amplifies gravity wold makes more sense.
Or something that temporarily stops fusion reactions in the sun:



a star goes super nova naturally because the nuke energy in the star becomes stronger than what the gravity of same star can hold it in. IE the star matter reaches escape Felicity for that star. result BOOM


thus the best way to cause an unnatural super nova is to negate the gravity.

Wrong. It's the exact opposite. The energy inside the star isn't enough to support its own gravitational pull, and it collapses in on itself.

I like this.

The name tells you what it is.

Like the VLA (Very large Array).
