Project Prosperous: Children of a Prosperous Earth Campaign

Northern/Southern Asteroids that exist outside the typical orbital plane. 

Asteroids make better ships than forts.

The asteroid fort will be simulated with a heavily-armored station in an extremely low orbit.

For me, I don't think moving asteroids any larger than few hundreds of meters to be used as KKV is really worth it. Nuking the asteroid is much easier, antimatter bombs far better still.

Better do an observation flyby with a cheap, stealthy spydrone first, to ensure there isn't a defending fleet or something to eat your interceptors. But yes, asteroid fortresses can't be cheaply killed the way David was suggesting.

I see, so visual technologies, like radar, or lasers, or anything on the electromagnetic spectrum, or looking at your giant glowing radiators?

That's not how stealth works, if you sent out a scrambling signal they'd just lock onto the scrambling signal even better than if you just stayed as silent as possible.

Incredibly rude? i was being creatively sarcastic, if i wanted to be incredibly rude i would have sounded like this:

WHAT ARE YOU AN IDIOT? YOU CANNOT SIMPLY MOVE AN ENTIRE ROCK STUPID! OUTSIDE OF THE ENTIRE OPERATION YOU WOULD HAVE HUNDREDS OF FUEL TANKERS BUZZING ABOUT THIS THING READYING IT AND BUILDING HUGE ENGINES, ANYONE WITH A TELESCOPE  COULD SEE YOUR IDIOTIC OPERATION! AND IN UNIVERSE I DOUBT THE FACTIONS WOULD LIKE SOME MEGA RICH BUT RETARDED CORP DE ORBITING ROCKS AROUND! 

But back to the point, The KE rounds would obviously have some guidance, they would need that in case the incoming asteroid tried to oh, let's say "dodge" the incoming attacks. Then you start blathering on about missile spamming, which is true, you can systematically overwhelm any laser system with enough missiles( though i still wish we could individually target multiple as that would help) be they nuclear or kinetic. But then the problem becomes where are these missiles coming from? Have you now changed to attacking with a fleet? I thought you were launching a huge rock(already pretty expensive if you want to do this fast enough) Is it now equipped with launchers as well? this seems progressively wasteful.

So basically my point still stands: Okay you throw a rock at a fort, the fort can shatter it, deflect it, etc. But even before hand the whole acceleration and construction phase would take months or years to complete, your whole argument is that rocks can't dodge, but then your counter i that yes rocks can dodge so well the can hit another rock and destroy it whil it's defender twiddle their thumbs i guess.
