Children of a Dead Earth is a 2016 space warfare simulator video game developed and published by Q Switched Productions.The game's campaign features increasingly complex missions that allow you to come to grips with orbital mechanics, combat tactics and spacecraft engineering in an iterative process that allows you to experiment and innovate.The story of the game is relatively straightforward: In the not-so-distant future, worldwide conflicts, weaponized climate change, and a total collapse of the planetary ecosystem have turned Earth into a Venus-like wasteland completely incapable of supporting life. As a result, the survivors leave the corpse of their planet and venture into space to rebuild, establishing colonies all across the solar system. However, not all is well as two factions rise to power: the Republic, and the United Sol Trade Alliance. Both vie for control of the Solar System, and as they expand, tensions begin to mount. Once again, the children of a dead earth prepare for war.It can be bought on Steam here. There is also an official blog with more info about the science behind the game can be found here. The official forum is here | |

More Dakka: It is possible to make chemical propellant guns, railguns, or coilguns with reload times measured in a few dozen milliseconds, and then put several dozen of those on your ship. If you do this, however, especially on a low-end computer, prepare for the game to turn into a slideshow. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Multi-gigawatt UV lasers are terrifying beasts, but they require so many radiators and power-plants that they are usually limited to use on space stations. Even with the addition of multiple frequency doublersnote Basically it lets you take an infrared or visible-wavelength laser and bring its output into the UV spectrum. and fan-made compact and efficient reactors it still leads to ships over a kilometer across, most of which is radiators. It is also possible to build guns that fire nuclear shells, though it is difficult. Nuclear bombs are heavy and firing them from a gun, either conventional or coilgun, with a reasonable amount of velocity to be accurate is hard. Such a weapon will tend to be prohibitively heavy or expensive, or likely both. | |

Point Defenseless | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_3f71b00e | comment |
Point Defenseless: Played with. Kinetic weapons, are usually quite useless against enemy missile waves, and generally also cannot target drones before they unleash their deadly payload. This is due to the long travel time of bullets and the guns not cycling between targets. However powerful enough laser weapons can effectively destroy even large missile swarms. Of course, some missiles can have extremely good anti-laser armor and kinetic guns with high enough velocity and high accuracy can do very well as point defense guns. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: Neither the Republic nor the United Sol Trade Alliance are portrayed as all that good nor evil. Both are quite capable and guilty of morally reprehensible acts for the sake of victory. However, near the end of the campaign as the Republic has gained the upper hand in the war, they become rather bloodthirsty, rejecting the USTA's bids for surrender as they don't want to just beat the USTA, they want want to utterly humiliate and terrorize them. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: The game deliberately does this allowing players to create fleets of missiles and giving players control of how many missiles they can launch from one to all in the ships onboard magazines. This is encouraged as too small a fleet of missiles will simply be swatted by an enemies lasers and gun based weapons. Enemies will also launch a decent sized barrage of missiles at players to try and gain a hit. The "Silo Ship" is a warship focused on large missile barrages of nuclear armed missiles. | |

Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: The Earth is rendered uninhabitable by a series of events such as weaponized climate change, giant rocks being smashed into the planet, and nuclear war. This leads to a collapse of the planet's ecosystem and environment turning the Earth into an uninhabitable planet forcing humans to evacuate and colonize the solar system before the planet ceases to be able to support them. | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b | comment |
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Some minor ones involved in craft construction. Components requiring/generating power will be considered connected as long as there is some physical connection between them even if there are no visible wires. Most noticeable are refueling modules, that allow the transfer of fuel without spacecraft docking with each other. For obvious reasons, the Real-Time with Pause mechanic. Life Support is not a factor, on game scales, through the supplemental reading mentions that rockets carry provisions for a set period of time. The effects of atmospheres are not yet modeled. There is no accounting for how exactly munitions are moved from storage to a launcher that's located very far away; a drone or missile launcher on one end of a craft can draw ammunition from the farthest opposite end of the craft without issue. This also looks to be the case for radiators and the modules they're supposed to be cooling. Material property doesn't change/transmute during the course of gameplay, so it can result in some material being ludicrously effective at some area than in real life. For example, Lithium-6 works extremely well as a radiation shield in-game, but in real life, it would capture a neutron and transmute into helium and tritium, which means the shield would ablate. This doesn't happen in-game. The game doesn't account for material loss of strength and such due to temperature changes (although in many cases it seems that the developer intentionally uses the lower values just in case of these), and some properties are only theoretically achievable that wouldn't happen even in-game. For example, diamond in-game has melting point listed as 3823 K. However, diamond is only metastable and would normally revert back to graphite at the temperature around ~1500 K under normal pressure. The in-game melting temperature can only be achieved with very high pressure. This makes diamonds a lot more effective in extreme circumstances than in real life. | |

Conveniently Close Planet: Averted. The Solar System is modeled on a 1:1 scale, and getting places can take months to years. | |

Stealth in Space | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_f2e4d683 | comment |
Stealth in Space: Averted. As the developer puts it on his blog, making a spaceship stealthy is possible, but in no way feasible if you want it to actually do anything strategically useful. | |

Attack Drone | |
Children of a Dead Earth (Video Game) / int_fb9afaab | comment |
Attack Drone: Drones are absolutely lethal, and cheap to boot. They come in many flavors, such as Beam Spam and More Dakka. A number of ships are designed explicitly to drop drones. Drone have very little mass, allowing them to plot direct intercept courses almost like a missile without needing to wait for orbital synchronization. | |

Shown Their Work: The infolink cites numerous scientific journals and other publications, and the game forms the most realistic depiction of space travel and combat yet; even superseding Kerbal Space Program courtesy of its more robust and realistic n-body simulation. | |
