Originally by: Sheriff Jones Must be. 'cause A: It's around 50km away(if even that) and B: If that was a tachyon beam, it would cover the whole city, not just one orc.
And to be hoest, those lasers could NEVER track a humanoid 
Well, if you're refering to my picture then I'll have to say those are small energy turrets, since it wouldn't be any sport with anything bigger.. Also, the people in orgrimmar are just standing afk showing of their epic armours anyways, so they're basically stationary targets and impossible to miss :P |

Referring to that yes 
Small energy turrets still are large enough to engulf half a boeing 747 (+-frigate), those beams are orc sized.
Also, people OUTSIDE orgrimmar are dueling if not going in/out of orgrimamr, so they are very motioned indeed.
Hitting those people outside orgrimmar wouldbe like trying to hit a needle from space with a laserpointer. With the needle being on the roof of a rallycar  |

So... What you're saying is Cruise Missiles should be a better choice? The blast radius of one of those babies would probably wipe Azeroth off the map... |

Try stacking up Thermal resistance (re-entry) and dropping Javelin Torpedoes. Several megatonnes of warhead each should be fun.

Aye, missiles would work better for bombardment.
Actually bombers would work best for bombardment 
Still would be a b*tch with all them invulnerabilities and such.

think you might have the scale a bit off, there.
1: Small energy turrets don't "engulf" the ship. Even large beams don't manage that. What they do is, they hit part of it. 2: Frigates are the same size as a 747, not twice the size.
The way I think of it is this - a small railgun is 125mm - that's roughly the same size as the main gun on a Challenger tank. that round is still only about as thick as a human arm, but the blast from a railgun appears to be about as thick as the beam from a small laser, so for a beam to completely engulf a six-foot person like that, it'd need to be at least medium-sized. |

1: The beam is still large enough to fit the size i said. 2: I said that.
Comparing projectiles and beams doesn't work.
The fact is, small beams(even how ridicilous on those on an abaddon) are not the size of humanoids. |

Oh snap, you know that in the QR trailer there was 2 seconds of planetary combat footage, with a ship shooting at the planet's surface right?
oh snap you did know the ship shooting on the planet was a galennte fighter jet that can't enter space right?
and it's shooting at tanks.
oh snap, you people do konw that other minerals are used in the construction of our beloved spaceships right? things like mexallon, isogen, pyerite, ect
maybe they mix that into the tritanium ore / liquid metal tritanium to make them possible to fly in an atmosphere
cmon people, use a bit of imagination

hey, i think railguns are still more powerful though 
now, imagine a 425mm railgun, thats almost a 1.5 foot round, or 14-16 inches
thats a big bullet
and imagine it slamming into a ship at like 20miles per second
and imagine if it was a sabot round
pure awesome

Now imagine said railguns filled with Uranium and Plutonium, they'll not only be able to see their way better around those dungeons but also hack and slash better with the third leg they will grow out of their foreheads. Failing that a Dread with some Citadel Torps will always put them out of their misery. Farjung is my God

personally, a 16 inch canister full of anti-matter would probably be a bit more effective than that or even a dread version so 1000mm (or roughly 36 inch). Firing a fridge full of anti-matter into anything is bound to get messy.

Awww, why not just let us miners put that planet to good use by mining it out from under them? Sure, the unlucky idiots who don't get to help won't be able to make a profit from mining for a while, but than again neither will the macro'ers. ---- --- --- Devs Sign Here; GMs and ISD welcome to :) |

You can always mine the chunks after we finish blowing it to pieces.  I wonder how many 1000mm AM shells you'd need to crack a planet.

WHY
Originally by: EVE Item DB
Tritanium - The main building block in space structures. A very hard, yet bendable metal. Cannot be used in human habitats due to its instability at atmospheric temperatures. Very common throughout the world.
Alright so perhaps not even an Oxygen atmosphere, just atmosphere in general. Common knowledge for anyone that plays EVE, also CCPs excuse for ignoring pleas for Atmospheric Flight.
Ok, what about steel, non stainless? It corrodes in a regular athmosphere. That's a bit unstable isn't it? ----------------------------

I dont have the link, but I remember a map showing that one of the larger Officer smart bombs could just about cover all the major land masses on both WoW worlds.
But no worry if they can't cover everything, then you'd just need to move a little bit.

well, yes that too... Bit unstable in atmospheres isn't it? Guess orbital sniping is the best solution.
Actually, that is what paint is for:) No Joke.
In the U.S. Air Force, base maintainence includes a number of professions. The piant shop is offically called "Corrosion Control" (although most folks call it the paint shop).

The beam itself might not be very thick, but it's power would probably be around the size of a decent nuclear explosion. 
Think about it - In eve, a howitzer firing a 280mm nuclear shell every few seconds is a relatively low powered weapon.
This is what a 280mm nuclear howitzer looks like in real life.
Now picture a 125mm shell loaded with antimatter and fired out of a railgun at several dozen times the speed of sound - The kinetic force alone would be enough to lay waste to a good few city blocks, and we don't even know how powerful the payload would be.
Cruiser and battleship sized weapons would have absolutely absurd firepower. A lone battleship would be able to make a planet completely uninhabitable in a matter of hours.
