The initial idea is poorly presented and crappy. But however I do like the idea of a system wide "fuckyou" button. OP completely screwed this up in almost every way possible though. It shouldn't be some massive weapon Deathstarthing that orbits the sun and is completely invulnerable blah blah blah. It should be however the station (if a station is present, if not, then no fuckyou button for you). However certain conditions must be met before this system cleaner can be used
1) The system must be under siege (or whatever it is we do to take space)
2) The station must be under 50% structural integrity
3) One corp member (maybe Directors only?) of the corp that owns the station must be in said station and remain in station until everything is over with.

The results of this?
A massive shock wave (or space equivalent) will go across the system (originating from sation) doing a completely random amount of damage
The system will be temporally inaccessible for 24 hours (too much radiation from station as'ploding and everything else).
Any PI systems in said system will be down for 24 hours as well.
The Station is destroyed.
The system in question goes back to being unclaimed.


I will admit right damn now that I don't know how system take overs are done and if destroying outpost is even possible. But this would make 0.0 warfare more interesting and fun and will give the defenders a (very costly) last option.

Yeah, you missed the mark on a lot of that.

You want to do something about superblobs besides taking the nerf bat to supers, create a new class of ship, and a new weapon specifically to counter supers. I'm thinking a covert ops battlecruiser that can fit citadel launchers and a new kind of bomb that does significant damage to capital-sized signatures.

Or not. Because blobs aren't inherently bad.

I don't really care one way or the other about blobs, i was just saying it would be cool to have some last ditch "**** everyone" button, figured this would be a good place to post, its relevant aye?
