dafeeeeeeeeeesh I did not say multiply i also gave a drop of your not getting an ultra thicc bomb ships will have to still be creative with it also irl it takes 8 times the explosives to make an explosion twice as large...
That's not correct. Like the intensity law the energy law is only correct for pure energy transmission without loses. With loses through a medium like air the radius is just 1.4x for 8x the energy. (You need more than 5 times that much for actually 2x the radius)
For the game I don't think this "minor" difference is worth the extra complex calculation cost.
