I'm just talking about weapon impacts on terrain
Ohh, got it
afaik the megaton figures are for max power shots

You can adjust the energy you put into the plasma before it's fired
I gave up on star wars after disney bought it tbh
Obviously if you're just targeting a building you don't want to liquefy the entire province
so
we just need to meme a starwars frigate into existence
and then nuke california from orbit
clearly
Exactly
So what you're saying is that canonically SW ships routinely underpower their combat firepower
Fuck cali
>tfw you will never have a comfy Acclamator-Class frigate where you party with your Anticom friends

And yeah, max power shots require way longer cooldown times
As in several minutes of recharging
Okay
So
So less powerful shots (in the kiloton range) are preferred

Granted
rip sheev
SW ships can access nuclear impacts way easier than IN ships can find lost caches of nuclear warheads
True
Also, 40k ships are way slower and less maneuverable iirc
Takes a good 10 minutes to set up a broadside
But, 40k lances will melt square kilometers of terrain in an extended salvo from one battery
depends on the ship
Keep in mind that on something like an Executor-Class, there are tens of thousands of turbolaser emplacements
anything eldar is pretty much "my only defence is my ability to dodge, GOOD LUCK"
So it wouldn't be unreasonable to fire each one at max power and cycle through for a continuous barrage
Executirs are oneoff vesseks
Bkeh
Nope, there were about 8 built iirc
Lusankya, Iron Fist, Terror, etc
there's about ten times that number of battleships of similar size in the grimdark
And tiny escorts are equatable to regular star destroyers
Keep in mind that Eclipse-Class ships have a Superlaser though
