This is Nepleslia. Your idea of heavy is our idea of light. Antimatter has historically been our big explosive destructive answer to aether. Hence why the multiphase cannons on the big ships mount SDR 5 antimatter warheads. We already have SDR 5 antimatter. With that precedent set, I don't see why I should be limited to making this SDR 4. This is our newest "Exceptionally powerful super-weapon"
It was intended to be a partial replacement for the NAM Plasma Lance Cannon on warship classes where a heavier armament was desirable. The Fireball could also be used to replace remaining aether shock arrays present within existing Nepleslian designs.
With an anti-matter weapon, it's simply an issue of how much antimatter will equal SDR 5, not if antimatter can reach that level. Right now, Sigma wants an SDR 5 weapon for Nepleslia since it's what we need. We don't want to resort to Aether since it doesn't fit our faction theme well, but we will if we have to simply because the story and roleplay demands it.
