Best course of action is allowing the nuke to still detonate even though it did get shotted by flying projectiles but only damage in a 50% smaller radius. SMD can still fully neutralise a nuke, we can try to explain this by saying the SMD has special mechanic that prevent the nuke to go explode.

I think the key thing is this - we need to decide how much damage an SMD is supposed to do, which will determine how much HP a nuke has.

This will make nukes fit in properly with the general amount of damage things do in the game.

So we can have a situation where random tank projectiles do not eliminate a nuke, but a GC beam or Mavor shot will eliminate a nuke, just like an SMD.

Which other game has flux economy? And an active community? And is an RTS? And has full zoom?

Some people seem to (deliberately?) be misunderstanding the issue.
The problem is that the nukes are completely disabled on impact, while this should take an expensive smd missile to accomplish. When a nuke hits an ASF it explodes, this is completely different.

Yeah yeah, we have SMD's randomly not firing, nukes hitting planes...

all bs if you ask me. How about we introduce a 1% chance your nuke randomly explodes in the silo... at least that is more real...

One of my favorite faf moments was killing a nuke with a gc beam :/

Nukes must simply detonate whenever they hit something. Problem solved.

Just think of the possibilities.

I think it is amusing when someone uses their ASFs to block a nuke launch. Using a battleship to kill a Yolo mid-flight? That's skill. I love it.

there is already a pr done for the asf blocking, which has still not been merged.
nothing been done yet in order to prevent random shoot from killing nukes.

It isn't skill if you do something on accident, and I'm sure nobody has ever set out to destroy a nuke with battleship fire and actually succeeded. It is just a one in a million chance that some random thing destroys a nuke or tactical missile and costs you the game, which is not fun or skillfull in the slightest.
