Holy shit how many times are we gonnah have the active scanning discussion. As many times as FRUIT BY THE FOOT EATERS™ decide not to read what was already posted/discussed/argued to death before EATING THEIR FRUIT BY THE DAMN FOOT™ YUM YUM!.

Holy shit how many times are we gonnah have the active scanning discussion. Until realistic detection modeling gets added into the game.

or you could accelerate a 50t mass to 60km/s, that would hit with 100PJ force... conveniently that would also be near unstoppable cause you can't just destroy that much mass or you could go the colony drop route, 500t+ mass at anything above 60km/s, would probably kill all life on at least once continent with a 1EJ impact a la the dinosaurs. really any dense mass going sufficiently fast makes for a really devastating and hard to stop alternative to nuclear bombing a target... How do you get 100PJ with 50t at 60km/s? I only get 9TJ. Hardly an extinction event.

Why, I'd barely feel the ground tremor!" That should be 90 TJ, I think. That's 6 times 10^4 squared on the velocity (so 36 times 10^8), and 25 times 10^3 on the one-half mass (so 36 times 25 times 10^11 gives around 10^13 times some number).
