Today I had to review the following:
- Acceleration and Velocity
- TNT Equivalents
- Specific Impulse
- Kinetic Energy
- Thermobaric weapon – Wikipedia
- 2020 Beirut explosion – Wikipedia
- Operation Sailor Hat
Chicxulub crater – Wikipedia
TNT equivalents reminded me that joules to TNT has a particular formula and not merely a higher order of Joules. specifically 4.184*10^12.
That a Missile in Cepheus Engine with about 0.83 metric tons of mass, 1 hour of Accel of 10G has delta-V of 352 KM/s and the energy of 6.8 Beirut Explosion blasts.
Energy Scaling is one the weird things the current Traveller setting.
Again the great thing about Open Gaming License is that you can make a harder sci-fi of Traveller/Cepheus Engine (or Old School Scifi RPGs).
I’ll save the spreadsheets and more detailed explanation for the appendix.
