New weapon idea for SEIV

micro-sized black holes ?! Where should those be located, just within ordinary space ?!

Actually, if it's moving slowly enough to orbit you'll need a huge amount of energy to send it on its way. I think that the star they have discovered is believed to have been 'slingshotted' past a black hole just like we slingshot probes past the inner planets to get to the outer planets.

And as far as SE IV/V is concerned, wouldn't it be cool to be able to divert asteroids towards inhabited planets? In the new 3D 'real time' combat system, you could actually have the chance to attack and divert/destroy the incoming threat, too.

Well, it brings a whole new meaning to the term
"shooting star"

Sorry, couldnt resist that one

I actually had that idea once myself when I started wondering what Cosmic Encounter's "Hawking Catapult" card was supposed to be...

Hmm, maybe CovertJaguar will make an image of one of these things and it will become one of the new revamped Physical weapons in Adamant?

My reputation grows I see.

In Andromeda the Abyss uses Point Singularity Projectors to great effect. Very devastating.

Technically, maggog use them. Not all maggog are members of the abyss.

Break out the Point Singularity Cannons, were go'an in.

If you want to get technical narf

, the first time the crew of the Andromeda saw the PSPs they were being used by the servants of the Abyss not the Magog. Those same servants were the first ones to use the tesseract generators as well.
