Didn't the reapers blow their planet up, trying to "cardamize" it? Well I believe just dismissing the possibilty would make no sense. It can be taken in taken in gas form. So I can put it in your air. I would just need a damn big amount of it to endanger someone by just putting it on a planet. I can force it on a person though. And then they have a problem obviously.

That's dark man, damn.

Or place a few canisters in someones ship oxygen slots, or pump it into a moderately sealed room, tons of fun rp possibilities.
Do we actually know how much it is meant to take before someone really gets addicted to it or it does dna damage?

Scourge here:
Short answer: not a lot.
The addictive effects surpass that of just about every narcotic we know of today.
DNA altercations are present in all users but full blown altercations that actually provide any tangible benefit to a user are really only present to either long-term users or native Maltese who practically bathe in the stuff on Malta or using one of their breathers/live on one of their own stations.
Also: Yes, Braillia was the adoptive home of the Reapers of Sirius, who are for all intents and purposes; former Outcasts living in the Omegas. Being cutoff from Malta and with no source of Cardamine, they sought to "seed" the substance into the planet's atmosphere in the hopes of (somehow) allowing it to become a hospitable place for cardamine users to inhabit.
This failed miserably and did irreparable damage to the planet's biosphere. This is the condensed version of the story obviously so if any RoS experts *glares at Golanski* would like to step in and clarify, then please-- by all means.
Also also: Yes, Cardamine-warheads are a thing. Fear the ultimate orange-bioweapon.
Disco players and their megalomanic fixation of weapons of mass destruction. (meme)
Just to calm the horses a little: even the worst use of WMD in human history "only" had "local" effect. And we are talking about atomic weaponry here.
Attacks with biological / chemical agents are much more limited. So... ye... no need to fear the interplanetary Cardamine rockets... and the airvent-Cardamine-comtainer (like in "24"), etc etc.
Disco works on a different scale.
Thank God it does.
Cardimine warheads?
Oh no! You are gonna drop a gas bomb? Better plug our noses then and wait it out!
Oh look... Its up in the atmosphere now.. thanks wind and atmosphere.
So yeah... This thing would need to be a lot of gas to even be effective.
I'm thinking that the "infusing terraforming gas with Cardamine" thing meant that they were trying to figure out a way to replicate malta, possibly, why they would pick cali to do that i've got no idea, but idk why else they would use terraforming gas.

And that's the glorious thing about wind: all it does is spread things around, rather than remove them. Even then; set in radiation and fallout is another thing you get to contend with.

I'm not claiming these weapons make a glorious amount of sense, all I'm stating is that they're already established. And the wonderful thing about space-travel is that the scale of the super-deadly WMDs and technology only increases, rather than decrease as you seem to think is the case.
The ability to incite and control nuclear fusion (the basis for most every ship in the game) itself relies on principals that are capable of effects on a planetary-scale. There's a reason every faction defends their garden-worlds on a system-wide level.
And forgive me for finding the concept of character conflicts overlain with interstellar political intrigue more interesting than space trucking

The moment I see a Cardamine Missile launch... or... a Cuba Crisis Mark 2 with OC stationing Intra-system Cardamine rockets on a Rogue Cruiser... I will just call the rp police to raid the one in RL so hard...
So, forgive that I enjoy realistic, small scale roleplay and stay away from powerplay that will not get anywhere anytime because you will never find anybody who agrees to have your super-weapon used on his toys. And everything else would be powergaming. So... ye. It is space trucking and a bit of WW1 style fighting...
Please point to the time that I've ever stated it's use?
Because all I've stated is that it exists, not that I'm going to use it on anyone.
You'd have a right to complain if I'd actually started threatening it inRP, which is something I'm completely shying away from for the obvious reason of powergaming. The mere statement of an already existent RP is not powergaming
Please do yourself a favor and stop assuming

Thread starts to remind me of my heated arguement with Treewyrm over two years ago. About the possibility of Outcasts contaminating whole house capital planets as the last phase of centuries-old plans and preparations, sort of a hidden agenda which could become real in any moment. I argued 'casts are OP because it could happen, he argued they aren't because it wouldn't.
