Why do we not see nuclear weapons 900 years in the future?

Dave HaddockNarrative Director

I was fairly certain that there was a nuclear payload on some of our missiles, but I might be wrong. Maybe they're torpedoes? I don't know.

So what you're saying is that they're not just automatically outlawed or anything?

Dave HaddockNarrative Director

I mean, we haven't done anything specifically calling that out as a thing, so I don't know. I guess it would actually be a design question ultimately, of whether they want to include it as a damage type.

We talked about radiation-level damage. I think if we did have them coming out, it would definitely be limited in the amount of damage. The UEE wouldn't condone the sale of planet killers to average civilians. There's no reason why the average person needs that level of firepower, figuring that most of the weapons are supposed to be defensive in nature when civilians get their hands on them.
