Line 110:
* The [[X (video game)|X-Universe]] has a very [[Fridge Logic]]ky variation, where tactical nuclear weapons are allowed, but nuclear ''reactors'' apparently aren't: ships need externally supplied energy cells to use jumpdrives, which are produced by giant solar power plants. At which point you wonder where ships get the energy to power their [[Deflector Shields]] and [[Energy Weapons]], which work just fine with an otherwise empty cargo bay.
* Played with in ''[[EV Nova]]''. The EMP torpedo is a nuclear weapon tuned to emit a much stronger electromagnetic pulse than usual. But there aren't any other types of nukes in the game.

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' had fun with this, [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2016-06-19 when] it turned out that [[It's the Only Way to Be Sure|the famous expression]] by far outlived its original meaning. Of course, this happened because the average spacefaring civilisations [[Abusing the Kardashev Scale For Fun and Profit|are high enough on Kardashev Scale]] to spit down on fission devices - some antique personal weapons use fusion power, but heavy munitions "up to date" are [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-01-30 conversion bombs] and [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-11-05 relativistic kinetic weapons].
