For starters, nuking bases is a bad idea. On top of them having decently high resistance to damage, they also have an extra 50% resistance against nuke damage. Throwing Nyx nukes at a level 5 [[Starbase]] even from point blank makes it take a very long time to destroy it with nukes alone(would take 4 point-blank Nyx nukes to just destroy the shield!). Likewise, base nukes are dangerous because they do twice the damage of ship nukes(Explosion Radius×8). For example, a level 5 [[Mothership]] nuke comes out to an astonishing total damage of 114,320 base damage(14,290×8=114,320). Even tanking the nuke from half of the maximum distance is enough to kill any Dreadnought in the game instantly regardless of being full health; it is only [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capitals]], and durable [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]] that are able to tank the nuke from half of the maximum range.

Nuking is no-where near cost-effective in most cases, and it is very expensive to do it at a scale where it is dangerous to other [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]]. | *'''Only nuke as a last resort if you know your ship is going to be destroyed.'''
