yeah the armoured warhead sounds good but I didn't think nukes worked on fortresses
Last time I looked, nukes killed everything.  >D
MkI nukes level a single system and break supply.  Basically the system is uninhabitable.
MkII nukes level the system and all others around it.  I think.
MkIIIs...  >D How do you feel about turning a whole galaxy into a glass crater?

Yeah, but that does not mean that units with immunity will also die. Nuke immunity is still nuke immunity.
It will however put most stuff down.

When was that?
Three weeks ago. :p
A new bug?
Cause Mark Vs, starships and some others are immune to nukes.

I thought the lore was that Mark 5 ships didn't exist three weeks ago. :p

If no Mark 5 ships exist, then why do I have Mark 5 fighters?  >D

Mk5 = Core

Also, while normal fortresses are "nuke immune" they still require supply.
The best part about nuking a fort is that it will detect that it can't hit your stuff, so it flies closer to get in range :D

holy jebus ze toyps.

Regarding three weeks ago:

Quote from: AI War Wiki
After the two AIs decided to work together, they eradicated us in a matter of days.

That was three weeks ago

And I heard somewhere that Mk5 was something the AI invented during that time.

Don't recall where it was officially mentioned by Arcen/Chris, but there was a Steam forum thread asking whether AI War could beat 40K in one of those internet pissing contests*. The person explaining AI War to the uninitiated made the claim there.

*(interestingly enough, the answer seems to be "yes", by virtue of the AI's R&D speed vs. that of the grimdark future's).
