There's a Blame! animation? Fuck me.

Exterminatus by causing planets to collide by creating a strong gravitational pull will always remain to be my favourite method of planet destruction

>>46219075

What am I looking at.

>>46219158
Seems like a big-ass laser that is basically floating in mid air. Or a spaceship.

>>46219032
>>46218635
This is not one of the BLAME! Extras animaton shorts I'm familiar with. Source please?

P. K. Dick's warp rocket is the coolest weapon I've ever heard of. It's from his short story 'The Variable Man'.

Humanity is at a large-scale war against an alien race but both sides are so technologically advanced that neither can really further the conflict; the humans have superior offence but the aliens have superior defence.

Humans have invented FTL drives but they're not working as expected; upon re-entry into normal-space/dropping below lightspeed, it explodes with an enormous, 1-2 planet sized boom. I think the explanation was that if the space the rocket re-enters into is already occupied by some matter, it de-stabilizes the structure of the entire rocket.
So the humans aim one of this at the home planet of the aliens.

The titular character fixes the drive and a peaceful, no-limits-to-expansion, HFY ending occurs.

That's from Knights of Sidonia. They're watching a movie.

I distinctly remember a stickied thread on /a/ about an announcement, but the pv was first in knights of sidonia

>>46219373
Really weird but kinda clever way of advertising. I literally had never heard of nor seen Blame! before this thread just now. I just thought it was some generic, over-the-top sci-fi flick they made up for the characters to "watch".

>>46219347
Huh. That's funny.

That Mexican scientist's hypothetical FTL drive runs into the same problem.

Do yourself a favour and go read Blame!, its seriously amazing sci-fi.

>>46218635
Definitely Gray Goo. Especially if you can remotely reprogram it or get it to change behavior once the "eat everything" phase is over. Then you've got a nice clean 6 × 10^24 kg or so of raw materials to work with.

>>46219389
I'd love to hear what Dick would've thought about this, considering he wrote the short story about 60 years ago.
What a guy.

>>46219559
Knowing PKD he would probably say that he predicted warp rockets because Satellite Jesus told him and about it on top of the dangers of trusting potential reptillians.

>>46219761
And yet all his delusions somehow do not discredit his person

False Vacuum bomb.

If transhumanism actually happens and we all become immortal god machines I am so gonna recreate the bible on some backwater planet.

It was initialy meant as a in-universe joke but they are actualy turning it into a full movie.

As for OP's question, Revelation Space' Hell Class weapons are my favorite. Sentient sun-bursting superweapons built with plans sent back from an alternative shitfest of a future
