Default Re: [Spaceships] Don't die with smartbombs: using SS4 X-ray laser warheads

If the beam damage goes up with the cube root of the energy of the attack, and a 25 megaton warhead nuke provides 10 times the energy of a 25 kiloton nuke, it follows that a 96cm x-ray laser warhead (25 megaton nuke, following the progression for normal nukes) would do ten times the damage of a 16cm x-ray laser warhead (25 kiloton nuke, following the progression for normal nukes). That is, it would do 100d(5) damage. That's ten SM steps per full 10x increase in damage.
