How big is it going to be in game? On this forum I heir 5km, but on your guys website I read that the Planet Killer is 45km which sounds about right to me =). So what size will it be ingame?

There might be some nasty fill rate problems tho.

In anycase, it will be freaking huge. Ever seen Styxx's Apocalypse.

Oh crap it!

Why you think it is called Planet Killer, WHY???

Because it is built fot kill planets!
How much firepower is needed for that? A LOT!

Shadows are using a cloud that is as big as a planet!

You need a lot of firepower to ensure the targeted planet is died, no life on it anymore. No humans, no aliens, no animals, no plant.

the shadows planet killer is worst cause
1.it cover the planet
2.Then bombards it with nukes which can penatrate the surface
3.then destroys the planet from the inside out.

What's the point of a PK in game anyhow? You see it, then get swarmed by a bunch of Vorlon fighters before you can go "eek!"

wow real fun. Total waste of time if you ask me.

Yeah, the Vorlon version turns planets to nice tasty chunks....the Shadow version just strips the surface of anything useful.

The Apolocalypse is about 20km long. Its huge.
