![]() Laser cannons from large capital ships would most likely do severe damage to an area over time. Blob turrets, if aimed at cities or military bases, could actually be effective if they have the range to attack a planet. from Ultionus: A Soundtrack of Petty Revenge, released December 12, 2013. ![]() It looks like utter devestation, but a good missile defense system could probably destroy a Harbinger while it was still in the very upper atmosphere, minimizing its damage. While bombarding an enemy planet during war with my fleet I can see that the planet is taking damage, when it reaches 100, it shows 'Undamaged' for a second and then the counter resets to 0, and if I countinue the bombardment it will reach 100 again to 'Undamaged' to 0 and so on, it is stuck in a loop. Zone 0 - Orbital Bombardment by Jake Kaufman, released 12 December. I'm tempted to say ships like cruisers and Orions hovering in low orbit launching bombs and blobs. How would the beginnings of a planetary attack proceed in Freespace - keeping in mind the differences that might be incurred by the discovery of beam technology? For this discussion, it would be prudent to focus on how firepower would be directed at the planet and possibly how troops would then be landed, but not to delve into how ground combat would occur. Launching ordinance at a planet could conceivably be done in a few ways: Firepower (bombs and other weapons) launched from capital ships in orbit bombs dropped by high atmosphere bombers bombers actually launching bombs from high orbit or some combination. Tech room descriptions lead us to believe that large bombs were launched at planets to bombard them by Terrans and Vasudans (Harbinger) while the Shivans used what appears to be a beam cannon (it might be assumed the Terrans and Vasudans use them to the same end by Freespace 2).
