That's 250x hiroshima nuke in a single grenade. Someone at Bethesda didn't do their math...
Or maybe it's the equivalent of 8.8oz of TNT? Or the weight of the grenade itself?
Crunching some numbers the ounces of TNT equivalent seems to check out.
Supposedly an m67 grenade has the equivalent yield of about 108 grams of TNT.
8.8oz is about 246.4 grams. So this would be a grenade which is 2.5 times more powerful than today's M67 grenade.
I'm more annoyed that even in 2330, the settled systems still uses imperial measurements.
I'm not, it feels messy, like the rest of the game. Hell, I kinda want intermodal containers (The steel shipping boxes that get sent across the pacific, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodal_container)
Those are measured in feet. 20/40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet 6 inches tall.
Hell, I kinda want to make a space trucking game where you transport them, but there's already a few space trucking games.
come on! come on! lets go space truckin come on!
There are ship cargo containers that use at least a similar crate to those.
In starfield? Where can I get them?
Assuming it's 8.8 oz of antimatter. If it's equally split between matter and antimatter, half it, so 125x hiroshima.
I don't know... if we assume 8.8oz total for matter and antimatter together. All of that mass will be annihilated and converted into energy. I calculate that would yield 22,421,767,037 MJ, let's say 22,000 TJ. According to wikipedia, Little Boy had a 63 TJ yield, so this grenade is around 350 times that.
If it was 8.8 ounces of antimatter, it would combine with 8.8 ounces of normal matter to convert a total of 17.6 ounces of mass into energy. That would result in like 700 Hiroshima's total yield.
It would be funny to have an item in a game like this that the player thinks is a regular grenade but when using it they realize it wipes out the planet.
