Wait, a billon is not the same for everyone. Here it means 1000000 millons, but i think in USA it means 1000 millons. There's a big difference.Quote:

There was a huge debate about this on blizzforums. I started the thread wondering why the Terrans couldn't simply nuke everyone to death. I can't remember the conclusion though.Quote:

They don't have nukes that can destroy a planet. All they have are nukes that can glass a planet. In fact, the Zerg could very well survive due to subterranean hives. It won't win them the war. The Zerg can keep coming. If they nuked every single world with a Zerg on it, they would have to spend resources on that world to terra-form it if they wanted it back. This would put them into a war of attrition, one the Zerg could win. Please just think about it before you post.Quote:

Nuking, if they had the industry to produce the TT nukes, would probably cause the Umojan Protectorate and the KM combine to go to war with the Dominion. You seem to have the idea that the Terrans are under one banner.
The planetary orbit also has to be cleaned of enemy fliers before any nuking or purifying can take place. That was the point of the Omega mission.
Mainly because the Zerg were consolidating some of their forces on Char Aleph, Char's space platform.Quote:

And I know very well that Terrans are not under one banner,But who said that they will use these weapons VS any other race except the Zerg? And as is stated in the "Lore' Zerg are vulnerable to radiation,So i guess you don't need thousands of warheads probably only dozens for a planet,And considering that the Tzar Bomb was 27 tonnes and had a 50 megaton and only had a ration of 1.9 Ton/Megaton yield TODAY's weight-to-yield is 5.2ton/Megaton and theoretical possible for 6ton/Megaton(21st century standards !) imagine what the Dominon can build or every other Terran faction? Or the UED that controls dozens of star systems?Quote:

Hell i can just 'warp' them in the atmosphere and no need for so much fuel to travel between planets ,no need for clearing orbit... I guess you have to think not me, and not just think but read how exacly nuclear fission and fusion work,then try to be a professor.......
It's a game dude. Is this really the part that you don't buy? Are you fine with marines shooting down battlecruisers? A couple thousand rapists starting a galactic empire in 300 years? Psionics? Totally unrealistic zerg genetics?
Refusing to admit that there is an explanation in a sci-fi game doesn't mean there isn't one. You can pull any explanation out of thin air. Perhaps an obscure, strange quantum mechanical rule allows nukes to be predicted and then deflected way in advance through warp space?
Nukes can be shot down from orbit by missile defense systems that already exist today. The Zerg would have similar capabilities, with them being able to launch spores across planets. Korhal had none of this because they weren't prepared and/or didn't have the technology. They also didn't have a fleet. If you disagree then the burden of proof is on you. It's not an inconsistency/plot-hole just because it hasn't been talked about in lore.
Ok how exacly do you know that missiles can be shoot down with missile defence??? Is this has been ever tested in real battle situations? NO ! And who can launch spores? across planets? That's the other unrealistic most ridiclious thing EVER even in Sci-fi! OF Cource that's GAME that's what i'm telling from the start of this topic....Don't you think that is a little odd for the other guy to be telling me they CAN'T Build nukes BUT CAN build warp drives and warships who are kilometers in length??? My point here is to prove that the Lore in SC is complete mess who aims ONLY in continuing the game and storyline of both Zerg,toss,terran colonists,even if none of it makes sense,it's all to make more and more cash for Blizzard...
