Nuke question

[SexyDude76]

My question: can nukes aimed at my capital destroy spaceship parts already built?

 

[Willowmound]

No. I'm 99 percent certain.

 

[Wacky]

Only if the capital is captured you'll lose the parts. Nukes don't destroy them.

 

[GIO888]

Wacky has the beef.

I think nuking the capital should destroy the spaceship already in construction. Seriously, it was a bad idea for them to put it in open ground.

There should be a building called "spaceship bunker" and the victory condition screen will show the ship underground, so the nuke does not destroy it.

Upon launching, there should be an elevator raising the ship to the surface where it then launches

 

[Willowmound]

It should be built in orbit. That's how such a ship would be built in the real world.

Then it would also make more sense that the Space Elevator increases construction speed.

Your workers should have an option to build a launch pad like it can build a mine/oil well/etc. Every shippart should be moved to that tile connected with (rail)roads.

If it gets conquerd the conquer gets the parts. Nukes/Missles/Bomber raid will destroy the parts.

@Willowmound
Good point. But how will you see the ship launch from the surface onwards if the ship is built in orbit?

 

[Willowmound]

You wouldn't.

There could be a launch movie instead.

 

[Stylesrj]

Yes, but I built my ship different to the one in the launch movie...
