ICBM nuking

Post by h.q.droid »

Since nukes are a bit underutilized and can't be launched into space, how about adding support to ICBM nuking? Like how a single fish can be currently inserted into a space-age rocket to trigger special behavior, we could allow inserting a single nuke into a rocket silo to make it an ICBM, akin to an artillery with auto targeting. The player can then launch the rocket (or have it automatically launched) to nuke a far-away nest.

I got curious and so I launched a single fish into a rocket silo and launched the rocket to a stationary platform above Nauvis. I didn't notice anything unexpected. What is this special behavior?

You need to send the fish to orbit, not to a platform.
It pops an achievement.
